The Red Thread
Marxism and Black Struggle
In this episode of The Red Thread, we're diving into how Marxism can be used to fight the interconnected systems of racism and capitalism. Black struggle has a rich history, from the fights by the first enslaved Africans to today's recent Black Lives Matter movement, Black struggle has been a driving force in challenging oppression and exploitation.
We break down the intersection of racism, class struggle, and capitalism, explore lessons from the Russian Revolution, DRUM (Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement) and discuss how movements like Black Lives Matter shaped a new generation organizing in the streets, schools and workplaces.
Hosts: Carmen Maffea & Sarra
