Capitalist Complicity - RIF Podcast - Episode 10 - 16 March 2025

In this episode, we discuss the interplay between capitalism, resistance, and identity. We discuss the metaphors used in resistance movements, the role of collective consciousness, and the impact of colonialism on national identities. The conversation delves into the psychological aspects of resistance, the significance of love in the struggle, and the need to dismantle hierarchical structures. We also discuss the implications of borders and nationalism, advocating for a more inclusive and expansive understanding of identity and liberation based on individual, collective and national self-determination.
