Challenging Western Imperialist Narratives on CHINA | Ewoks Unhinged (feat. RedComrades inChina)
Really proud to share this podcast with RCIC, an exciting new collective sharing stories from on the ground in China!
Instead of discussing the economics around SWCC which is hotly debated in the West, we wanted to use this platform on this podcast focus on delivering points that everyone in the Western Left can rally around a strong Anti-Imperialist line showing Solidarity with the People of China and East Asian diaspora Communities in the face of Western Imperialist aggression.
Ali Salaam is the founder and editor-in-chief of Basira Press. Coming from a background of independent journalism, his journey of truth seeking led him to accept Islam in 2013. He has been published on Mint Press News, Crescent International Magazine, and American Herald Tribune, the latter of which was shut down by the FBI. He created Insight-Media.co in 2018 in order to create a home for God-conscious, revolutionary artists to be discovered under one roof. Due to a lack of coverage of soft war issues in Islamic resistance media, he created Basira Press in 2021 to fill the gaps, doing so with the utmost respect for other outlets given that we are all on the same team striving for the same goal.

My line is the same as @Caleb Maupin on supporting Land Back defined as Indigenous sovereignty & self-determination in relation to territory & reparations. If you are "denouncing" me on this point, something I've always upheld, you are also in effect denouncing Caleb and CPI!

Interview with Dimitri Lascaris people's lawyer, former Green Party of Canada Leadership candidate, and Anti-Imperialist journalist. We discuss his family origins immigrating to Canada from a War-Torn Greece, and connect that with the present day situation in Ukraine today, around Anglo-American Imperialism. We talk about the sub-prime mortgage crisis of 2008 and how Western countries have still not recovered, leading to the rise of Right-Wing Populism in the wake of these events and in the absence of a strong Left in Canada. Dimitri contrasts the paths of being big Corporatize lawyer versus fighting for those in need!

We talk about how the ideas of Western Chauvinism really holds back the Left in the West. Although this is about Western Chauvinists we really mean for this to be an empowering message for all our Comrades that are against this Chauvinism and are for real passionate about building a genuine, awesome internationalist movement!
