This is part two and the final part of our conversation with Mylan Tootoosis. Since we defined a lot of concepts and terms in episode one, part two explores those ideas and their applications. We dive into racism and white supremacy, how colonization erases and rewrites Native culture, double consciousness as a way to understand code-switching and white gaze, land-based education (education outside of the classroom), oral tradition, pressures of being nonwhite, and living with the Zapatistas.  When we think of the Left, we think of the Marxist to Anarchist binary. Some might generously even include liberals. However, with these two episodes, we'd like to illuminate how anti-imperialism/colonialism is a primary radical tradition with overlaps to the European radical traditions, rather than a subset. Capitalism is a problem, but the oppression of racism, imperialism, and colonialism are timeless.  We can't continue to produce important episodes like this one without your solidarity.

We brought Indigenous scholar Mylan Tootoosis on the show to give us a crash course on colonialism, Fanonian Marxism and psychoanalysis, and decolonization (both internal and external). More than a lecture, this is a conversation where we not only define terms and ideas but stretch these ideas into different contexts, even martial arts. Some fight for a post-racial society, or a post-capitalist society, or a society without authority, and all these things overlap with but are not the same as the struggle for a post-colonial and post-imperial society. This episode is unique even among leftwing podcast, and probably one of the most important episodes you will hear. It will challenge you and make you uncomfortable, which is essential for healing.  You can listen to part 2 now on Patreon or you can process this episode and wait for part 2 to be released in the coming weeks.

"More than machinery, we need humanity."  In 1940, Charlie Chaplin put aside the Tramp character to write, direct, and star in "The Great Dictator." Rather than his usual slapstick comedy, "The Great Dictator" was a thoughtful political comedy, that not only satirized but also denounced fascism.  Side note: For making movies that criticized factory life, the Gold Rush, and the Nazis, Chaplin was accused of being a communist sympathizer and exiled from both the US and the UK.  We can't continue to produce important episodes like this one without your solidarity.

Many of us have questions about spotting red flags for fascists and cults of personalities. Fortunately for us, philosopher Theodor W. Adorno and other researchers at University of California, Berkeley have already done the work. Studying fascist personality traits during and after World War II, their findings were published in 1950. However, you might be surprised how consistent these personality traits have remained. In fact, this is even more insightful today than it was back then because World War II had people convinced fascism was an anomaly unique only to German Nazis; whereas now, we know there are fascists all around us. This piece was originally written in 2019 and unfortunately it appears this checklist will become perennial.
