The Struggle Session is back for November on Sunday Nov 23rd at 3pmET! This monthly livestream panel program is not convening to make you feel better--the unvarnished analysis and fierce self-criticism may make you feel a bit worse! But, it will inform and, hopefully, spur you to taking action. As Marx said, the point isn't just to understand the world but to change it. This is an activist panel for a much needed Struggle Session: Nerdeen Kiswani, founder of Within our Lifetime; Sina Rahmani, host of East is a Podcast and impressario/producer of the online tankie left; Henry Hakamaki, editor at ISKRA Books and co-host of Guerrilla History podcast; and Mehmet Ali Arslan, musician, activist, and co-host of Fredshetsarna podcast in Swedish and English.

Join us for a wide-ranging discussion of the key developments and issues for the anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, anti-genocide left. We'll talk about directions of the Palestine solidarity movement and Gaza resistance in light of the ceasefire/UN occupation force resolution that Russia and China didn't veto, Mamdani on the Left and MAGA civil war on the Right, Jolani at the White House and Kremlin, imperial wars on Venezuela, Lebanon, Iran brewing and much more. Post your questions, suggested topics, and comments.

Note there are now two livestream formats: landscape and portrait depending on which fits best on your screen. So do choose the alternative if it doesn't show up properly on your mobile device or computer monitor/screen.

You can get priority for your questions/suggestions/comments by posting on patreon.com/adnanhusain.

In this edition of Office Hours, Friday Nov. 7 at a special time, 6pm ET, Adnan hosts Hamza Al-Muqawi a Sudanese writer and activist to talk about Sudan's history as a crucial and continuing front in the struggle against colonialism, imperialism, and capitalist exploitation of Eastern Africa and West Asia. We will learn about Sudan's strategic place on the Red Sea and the geopolitical factors fueling imperial and subimperial designs and interventions as well as the resistance and struggle for liberation by Sudan's people facing terror, deliberate starvation and genocide. Hamza's analysis will help illuminate a central battleground in resisting empire and the struggle for liberation. This is a crucial conversation about a major crisis that is thoroughly ignored. Join us and post your questions and comments.

**Note: Nick and I have been doing a new show behind our respective paywalls, Pod Kapital, going through the new translation of Marx's Capital published by Princeton University Press. We had originally envisioned it as short-run series but after the tremendous response we have received from listeners, we have decided to make the show permanent. At this point, most of the episodes are locked but we will be figuring out ways to make future episodes accessible to non-Patrons in one way or another.**

In this episode, we discuss Marx's chapter on cooperation. We also change the structure of our reading of Capital, slowing down and stretching out our study sessions. There's so much we want to cover.

The next installment of the Imperial '80s series is sure to be one for the ages. Evil Dead 2. Bruce Campbell. Chainsaw arm. Sawed off Shotgun. Necronomicon. Sina Rahmani from the East is a Podcast. What more could you want?

We can't talk about this film without discussing settler colonialism, zionism, & orientalism (and therefore imperialism)!

As always to support our show, please become an Imperial 80s patron, where you get first access to bonus episodes and support both Mtume and J's work on this series. We do hope to have the time to record a bonus episode for this one with Sina as well.

Millennials Are Killing Capitalism and the East is a Podcast will reflect upon the events of the week and talk about all of the unknowns. There is a ceasefire again, but will it hold? If we know that "Israel" violates every ceasefire, and every agreement, what form will their violation take this time? We will throughout this live-stream ask folks to support some families in Gaza who still are living in a state of tremendous devastation.

Support Doaa Osama and her family in Gaza https://chuffed.org/project/149565-support-doaa-osama-and-her-family-in-gaza

Help Ahmed and his family start over after losing everything https://chuffed.org/project/139183-help-ahmed-and-his-family-start-over-after-losing-everything

Help Reem's family Survive https://chuffed.org/project/146196-help-reems-family-survive

Help Mahmoud and His Family Survive and Stand Again https://chuffed.org/project/141277-help-mahmoud-and-his-family-survive-and-stand-again

A collaborative livestream discussion meant to support and fundraise for the Sameer Project, a Palestinian led mutual aid organization operating within Gaza, and especially its Mass Displacement Response Campaign for emergency relief.

Streaming on multiple channels, the discussion is also sponsored by Jay of Millennials are Killing Capitalism and we will be joined by Sina of East is a Podcast, Benji and Sacha of Resistance is Fertile, Lara Sheehi, Jared of iMWiL!, Renee of Saturdays w/Renee on BLM, and Nick of The Red Nation Podcast.

Please consider supporting Mahmoud.

***Note: Jay and I did another fundraiser episode. This time, we used the website Lifeline4Gaza to help lift up some slow-moving campaigns. During the episode, I linked to two other campaigns whose organizers I know and who need your help: consider donating to Ahmed or Mahmoud***

As promised we are back to air more grievances! This week Sina and Jared are combining forces once again! Nora Barrows-Friedman from Electronic Intifada, and our frequent guest and comrade Alexander Aviña will be joining us, and some other special guests will join us as well!

Last week Adnan Husain, Nick Estes, Mtume Gant, Sina Rahmani, and Jared Ware all joined forces for an "airing of the grievances" and to raise money for Mohammed and his siblings in Gaza

For this conversation - in between the airing of the grievances - we will be promoting the work of Lifeline4Gaza.

lifeline4gaza gathers links to existing appeals from families, individuals & grassroots community efforts in Gaza. Appeals are automatically ordered according to urgency, or cumulative donations, using software designed to prioritize those receiving the least donations over the past five days (calculated in real-time & accounting for currency conversions).

Appeals supported by @gazafunds, @radiowatermelon & @palestineasdiqa are tagged as such (when identified).

lifeline4gaza is an ever-evolving, open-source collaborative volunteer initiative to provide a lifeline to people in Gaza, Palestine during the usa-zionist genocide. Volunteers working on developing & maintaining this website met on x/twitter & can be reached at:
