n today’s episode of the solecast we have an in-depth discussion
of anarchic black radicalism with comrades from Ram Philly &
Afrofuturist Abolitionists of the Americas. Anarchic Black
Radicalism draws on the history of Black Panthers, early
abolitionists, Black Nationalism/Liberation Movements and more to
synthesize a distinct form of black anarchism. We talk about
how recent social movements have radicalized a new generation of
black youth and how anarchist ideas have gained traction in their
wake. We talk about the importance of centering trans and
disabled people and what steps people of color can take to build
their own spaces for organizing that aren’t centered around white
activists. We go over about some of the theoretical
bases that form their analysis and some of the writers and texts
that have informed this direction.
