Radicalized by Occupy Wall Street in 2011, Isabella traces her journey from journalism student to anti‑imperialist, scientific communist.</p><p><br></p><p>They discuss why anti‑imperialism must be the primary struggle for any serious movement, how the CIA co‑opted Marxism through conflation and co‑optation, and why the Global South holds more leverage than ever before. Isabella breaks down the different strategies for the Global South (technology transfers, state ownership, local production) versus the Global North (mutual aid, political education, combating the labor aristocracy). She also reflects on the trap of electoral politics, the importance of disciplined organizing spaces, and why the US empire is inevitably going down swinging.</p><p><br></p><p>For more from Isabella: https://linktr.ee/socialistachampagne</p><p><br></p><p>Follow Ileana Chan: Instagram/X/TikTok: @ileanacforpeace</p><p><br></p><p>One-time donation to support our work: </p><p> <a href=\"https://buymeacoffee.com/empirewatch\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://buymeacoffee.com/empirewatch</a></p><p> <a href=\"https://gofund.me/2cd9de43\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://gofund.me/2cd9de43</a></p><p><br></p><p>Subscribe and Follow Empire Watch:</p><p>YouTube: @EmpireWatch </p><p> Instagram: @EmpireWatchMedia </p><p>TikTok: @EmpireWatchMedia </p><p>X: @EmpireWatchX</p><p><br></p><p>AUDIO released EVERY WEDNESDAY on Patreon: <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/EmpireWatch\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.patreon.com/EmpireWatch</a> </p><p>And: </p><p>Spotify: <a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/show/01HI3K6vwdCRAXq5wWWbxb?si=00016b473043452a\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://open.spotify.com/show/01HI3K6vwdCRAXq5wWWbxb?si=00016b473043452a</a> </p><p>Amazon Music: <a href=\"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89a4df87-bcbf-4610-880e-3cf768303c76/global-majority-for-peace\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89a4df87-bcbf-4610-880e-3cf768303c76/global-majority-for-peace</a></p><p>The Global Majority for Peace podcast brings you in‑depth interviews every TUESDAY to discuss our mission to challenge US imperialism and build a multipolar world.</p>","author_name":"Empire Watch Media"}
