So instead of turning on random podcasts to pass by time, I've recently been watching political lectures, talks, and interviews. I've was wondering if people would be willing to share some of the stuff they've come across here? To start things of, some videos that have stood out to me that I've recently watched are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3G1EyvRZmOs Focuses on how China is different from the West and why it has developed the way it has and how a future of a China as a dominant superpower may look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMiSQAGOS4 A video that has exploded over the past month over obvious reasons. Explains the Russian perspective in regards to their interest in Ukraine and why they are so interested in the nation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1WUKahMm1s The famed American Marxist economist explains an economic system that is an alternative to Capitalism, State Capitalism, and Communism, in which worker cooperatives are the backbone of the economy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrQC_Llej_E Julius Malema is the leader of the EFF, the fastest growing party in South Africa that has potential to really challenge the ANC. He is a Marxist and his the main part of his platform is to have the state take control over private land to take power away from the white minority and put it in the hands of the black majority.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-7CqOKD5c8 cultural theorist stuart hall wrote and presented this half-hour video essay in the late 70s, about how news and other media demonise migrants and racial minorities. a lot still rings true! quote:A subsequent Open Door episode began with a feebly apologetic message that entirely disavowed Hall and Steed’s critique: “The BBC wishes to dissociate itself from any such suggestions [of racial bias] which it considers to be entirely without foundation.”

Took me a bit to realize that “repatriation” meant taking existing and established citizens and shipping them back to their countries of origin. And that “West Indies” meant black people from the Caribbean. What stands out to me the most is how people of color weren’t given a voice during those segments.

I've been dipping in and out of old factual programming and docs for years. There used to be youtube channel that had nearly every appearance by Malcolm X on tv on it. Including debates, interviews and even the time he appeared on a Canadian panel comedy show. All gone sadly. I've stumbled on a dramtisation of a dispute on Empire and Colonialism at the UN between France and Belgium and newly independent former colonies like India. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha4dZNFQNuw Its an interesting format and rare to see proponents of still existing Empires have to look others in the eye and try to make an argument.
