Global Majority for Peace

In episode 82 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan speaks with Isabella Aidar (Socialista Champagne), a Brazilian‑Canadian activist, political educator, and UX designer for Tech for Palestine. Radicalized by Occupy Wall Street in 2011, Isabella traces her journey from journalism student to anti‑imperialist, scientific communist.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.For more from Isabella: https://linktr.ee/socialistachampagneFollow Ileana Chan: Instagram/X/TikTok: @ileanacforpeaceOne-time donation to support our work: https://buymeacoffee.com/empirewatch https://gofund.me/2cd9de43Subscribe and Follow Empire Watch:YouTube: @EmpireWatch Instagram: @EmpireWatchMedia TikTok: @EmpireWatchMedia X: @EmpireWatchXAUDIO released EVERY WEDNESDAY on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/EmpireWatch And: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/01HI3K6vwdCRAXq5wWWbxb?si=00016b473043452a Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89a4df87-bcbf-4610-880e-3cf768303c76/global-majority-for-peaceThe 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.

In episode 81 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan sits down with George Kanjere, community and union organizer and member of the Red Anti-Imperialist Collective in Australia. Born in Zimbabwe and raised between there and Australia, George traces his journey from the Australian Greens to Marxism-Leninism, radicalized by Aboriginal deaths in custody and the reality of third world conditions inside one of the wealthiest countries on Earth.They discuss what it means to build a revolutionary movement in the imperial core, why anti-imperialist views without domestic power are just "academic vibes," and how organizers must meet people where they are, not demand they come "pre-cleansed" of conservative ideas. George breaks down the Red Anti-Imperialist Collective's strategy: prioritizing First Nations liberation, organizing in women-dominated sectors like education and healthcare, and exposing how Australia's economy is owned by BlackRock and Vanguard. He also reflects on the long transition from capitalism to socialism, the importance of internal party culture to prevent abuse, and why women's liberation is an existential question, not identity politics, for any serious revolutionary movement.For more about Red Anti-Imperialist Collectivehttps://linktr.ee/redant.australiaWebsite: https://redantcollective.org/Email: contact@redantcollective.orgInstagram: @redantaus @redantmelb @redant_perth @redantsydneyFollow Ileana Chan:Instagram/X/TikTok: @ileanacforpeaceOne-time donation to support our work:https://buymeacoffee.com/empirewatchhttps://gofund.me/2cd9de43Subscribe and Follow Empire Watch:YouTube: @EmpireWatch Instagram: @EmpireWatchMediaTikTok: @EmpireWatchMediaX: @EmpireWatchXThe Global Majority for Peace podcast brings you in‑depth interviews every TUESDAY in video and WEDNESDAY in audio to discuss our mission to challenge US imperialism and build a multipolar world.

In episode 80 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan is joined by Professor Michael Dutton, political theorist and China specialist, to explore how China’s revolutionary project reshaped political subjectivity, state power, and everyday life and why Western frameworks fail to grasp it. Formerly a Reader in Chinese Politics and Social Theory at the University of Melbourne and later Professor of Politics at Goldsmiths, University of London, Michael is the author of influential works including Policing and Punishment in China, Streetlife China, Policing Chinese Politics, and most recently The Book of Politics: China in Theory (2024).He traces the formation of his political worldview and examines the central question animating his latest work: what conditions transform people from capitalists into socialists? Drawing from decades of research, he breaks down the methodologies, policies, and psychological shifts that shaped China’s political transformation from Mao’s adaptation of Marxism to the evolution of Communism with Chinese characteristics.Get Michael's Books here: https://www.dukeupress.edu/the-book-of-politicshttps://www.dukeupress.edu/policing-chinese-politicsFollow Ileana Chan:Instagram/X/TikTok: @ileanacforpeaceOne-time donation to support our work:https://buymeacoffee.com/empirewatchhttps://gofund.me/2cd9de43Subscribe and Follow Empire Watch:YouTube: @EmpireWatch Instagram: @EmpireWatchMediaTikTok: @EmpireWatchMediaX: @EmpireWatchXThe Global Majority for Peace podcast brings you in‑depth interviews every TUESDAY in video and WEDNESDAY in audio to discuss our mission to challenge US imperialism and build a multipolar world.

In episode 79 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan is joined by Giovani Del Prete, Brazilian militant of the Movimento Brasil Popular (MBP) and member of the Continental Secretariat of ALBA Movimentos, to unpack the latest wave of U.S. imperialist escalations in Latin America. Giovani draws on his organizing experience across Brazil and the region to explain how Washington is tightening pressure on Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, and Venezuela as they push toward sovereignty, integration, and a multipolar world.He breaks down the indefinite general strike in Bolivia, the social forces leading it, and how the rise of President Rodrigo Paz reflects a familiar pattern of U.S. intervention against governments that challenge neoliberal orthodoxy. Giovani also examines Colombia’s political crossroads as President Gustavo Petro faces investigations and elite backlash for opposing the U.S. drug war, rejecting sanctions on Venezuela and Cuba, and calling for deeper South-South cooperation.For more from Giovani: https://medium.com/@giovani.brFollow Giovani: https://www.instagram.com/delpretegiovani/Follow Ileana Chan:Instagram/X/TikTok: @ileanacforpeaceOne-time donation to support our work:https://buymeacoffee.com/empirewatchhttps://gofund.me/2cd9de43Subscribe and Follow Empire Watch:YouTube: @EmpireWatch Instagram: @EmpireWatchMediaTikTok: @EmpireWatchMediaX: @EmpireWatchXAUDIO released EVERY WEDNESDAY on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/EmpireWatch And:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/01HI3K6vwdCRAXq5wWWbxb?si=00016b473043452aAmazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89a4df87-bcbf-4610-880e-3cf768303c76/global-majority-for-peaceThe Global Majority for Peace podcast brings you in‑depth interviews every TUESDAY in video and WEDNESDAY in audio to discuss our mission to challenge US imperialism and build a multipolar world.

In episode 78 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan is joined by Triploi,  @triploi  historian, content, creator, and host of the Triploi Podcast, to unpack how Western historical narratives are constructed and why they consistently erase the Global South. He traces how a childhood fascination with World War II led him to question the omissions in mainstream history, discover historical materialism, and understand the deep entanglement between colonialism and capitalism over the past 500 years.Triploi explains how this lens reshaped his politics, why so‑called “radicalization” is often just education, and how social media unexpectedly became a platform for accessible political history. He also examines Australia’s position inside the U.S.‑led imperial system, from the 1975 dismissal to today’s alignment with Washington’s China strategy, and why anti‑China narratives dominate Australian media and think‑tank discourse.Triploi has been a fan of history since he was a small child, with a particular passion for 20th century history and the World Wars. But what started as an interest in mainstream history eventually turned into a need to understand WHY things happened. 20+ years of study later, in areas as varied as aviation, sociology, politics (and more history of course) Triploi is determined to not just examine history but question why it is written the way it is, and why the western-centric, capitalist worldview has become so dominant, and what we can do can to fix all the damage it has caused across the globe.For more from Triploi: https://www.patreon.com/triploiFollow Triploi on:Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@triploiYoutube: @triploiRednote: TriploiIG: @Tripl0iFollow Ileana Chan:Instagram/X/TikTok: @ileanacforpeaceOne-time donation to support our work:https://buymeacoffee.com/empirewatchhttps://gofund.me/2cd9de43Subscribe and Follow Empire Watch:YouTube: @EmpireWatch Instagram: @EmpireWatchMediaTikTok: @EmpireWatchMediaX: @EmpireWatchXAUDIO released EVERY WEDNESDAY on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/EmpireWatch And:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/01HI3K6vwdCRAXq5wWWbxb?si=00016b473043452aAmazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89a4df87-bcbf-4610-880e-3cf768303c76/global-majority-for-peaceThe Global Majority for Peace podcast brings you in‑depth interviews every TUESDAY in video and WEDNESDAY in audio to discuss our mission to challenge US imperialism and build a multipolar world.

They discuss how liberal Christianity shaped his socialist worldview, the lost spirit of the Non-Aligned Movement, what true sovereignty means, why free trade agreements trap Malaysia from raising wages or protecting local farmers, how ASEAN's 680 million people could become a self-sufficient bloc, and lessons from China, Cuba-Venezuela, and the history of neocolonial coups.For more about Parti Sosialis Malaysia: https://partisosialis.org/Follow Ileana Chan:Instagram/X/TikTok: @ileanacforpeaceOne-time donation to support our work:https://buymeacoffee.com/empirewatchhttps://gofund.me/2cd9de43Subscribe and Follow Empire Watch:YouTube: @EmpireWatch Instagram: @EmpireWatchMediaTikTok: @EmpireWatchMediaX: @EmpireWatchXAUDIO released EVERY WEDNESDAY on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/EmpireWatch And:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/01HI3K6vwdCRAXq5wWWbxb?si=00016b473043452aAmazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89a4df87-bcbf-4610-880e-3cf768303c76/global-majority-for-peace The Global Majority for Peace podcast brings you in‑depth interviews every TUESDAY in video and WEDNESDAY in audio to discuss our mission to challenge US imperialism and build a multipolar world.

In episode 75 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan is joined by Laith Marouf, a Syrian, Palestinian, Canadian journalist, political commentator, and the founder of Free Palestine TV. Laith’s work spans frontline journalism, political analysis, and independent media organizing, rooted in the Palestinian struggle for liberation and the broader politics of West Asian resistance. Born into a Syrian-Palestinian family and later based in Canada, his reporting and commentary have focused on imperialism, Zionist settler-colonialism, and the role of independent media in challenging mainstream narratives.We discuss how his Palestinian-Syrian heritage and lived experience as a diasporan journalist shaped his political consciousness, what led him to found Free Palestine TV as a platform for uncensored coverage and analysis, and how his time in Canada informs his understanding of Western media complicity. Laith reflects on the challenges of sustaining independent journalism under political and financial pressure, the importance of on-the-ground reporting from Palestine and Lebanon, and why media sovereignty is essential to anti-imperialist struggle.Free Palestine TV has been shadowbanned and demonetized across all platforms, so please donate to support here: https://www.freepalestine.video/ Follow on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/freepalestinetvFollow Ileana Chan: Instagram/X/TikTok: @ileanacforpeaceOne-time donation to support our work:https://buymeacoffee.com/empirewatchhttps://gofund.me/2cd9de43Subscribe and Follow Empire Watch:YouTube: @EmpireWatchInstagram: @EmpireWatchMediaTikTok: @EmpireWatchMediaX: @EmpireWatchXAUDIO released EVERY WEDNESDAY here and:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/01HI3K6...Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89a...The Global Majority for Peace podcast brings you in-depth interviews every TUESDAY in video and WEDNESDAY in audio to discuss our mission of building a global movement towards a multipolar world.

In episode 74 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan is joined by Mr. Fong, a Netherlands‑based content creator known for his debunks of anti‑China propaganda and his work challenging Western narratives about Xinjiang, extremism, and China’s political system. His social‑media presence has grown across diasporic communities, from Malaysia to Europe, where his videos circulate widely among audiences seeking clarity beyond mainstream headlines.We discuss how his political understanding developed despite growing up in a depoliticised Chinese‑diaspora household, how studying history and encountering misinformation pushed him to “untangle” his own assumptions, and why he began creating content after witnessing rising harassment of Chinese people in the Netherlands. Fong reflects on learning about Xinjiang through personal encounters, researching ETIM and extremist violence, and tracing how misattributed images, recycled witnesses, and repetition‑based propaganda shaped global perceptions. He also explains how speaking publicly about these issues has led to an ongoing legal case in the Netherlands, raising questions about censorship, political pressure, and the limits of dissent in Europe.Follow Mr Fong: X/Tiktok: @Fongtruth Youtube: @mrfong8122 Follow Ileana Chan: Instagram/X/TikTok: @ileanacforpeaceOne-time donation to support our work:https://buymeacoffee.com/empirewatchhttps://gofund.me/2cd9de43Subscribe and Follow Empire Watch:YouTube: @EmpireWatchInstagram: @EmpireWatchMediaTikTok: @EmpireWatchMediaX: @EmpireWatchXAUDIO released EVERY WEDNESDAY here and:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/01HI3K6...Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89a...The Global Majority for Peace podcast brings you in-depth interviews every TUESDAY in video and WEDNESDAY in audio to discuss our mission of building a global movement towards a multipolar world.
