Red Flag Radio

Discussion and analysis of politics, history, theory and activism from a revolutionary socialist perspective. Produced in Sydney, Australia. A podcast for revolutionaries and those for genuine total human liberation ☆☆☆☆☆ ”There are many good left-wing podcasts out there these days, but what sets Red Flag Radio apart is its indomitable attitude to total working class revolution. There’s no softness on reformists, no strings attached support for the oppressed and their struggles and very clear sense of the project of the revolutionary left today which informs all the discussions from the environment, global uprisings and fighting oppression. If you’re an organised revolutionary, or just finding your feet in left-wing and radical politics then this podcast should definitely be a top priority for you. Increasingly as capitalism destroys the planet, ramps up political repression against the oppressed and continues to exacerbate massive inequality we need a clear revolutionary set of politics to solve these crises - this is what this podcast will provide”. fyrestorm2minds via Apple Podcasts ·Australia ·11/24/2019 Red Flag is the newspaper of Socialist Alternative.

  3. Defying repression with "serial protestor" Josh Lees

    Defying repression with "serial protestor" Josh Lees

    The Murdoch press has been on a tear against the Palestine movement and particularly "serial protestor" Josh Lees, a leading member of the Palestine Action Group (PAG) and Socialist Alternative, and our guest for this episode. NSW Premier Chris Minns accused Josh of costing tax-payers $5 million to police the protests. The attacks on Josh and PAG are part of a fresh wave of repression and censorship against the Palestine movement in Australia. These attacks are happening on campuses and in the streets, they are coming from the media, Labor governments, the Liberals and university vice-chancellors. Emma spoke to Josh about the nature of that repression and the way charges of anti-semitism have been weaponised against anti-war campaigners protesting a genocide.

    Israel's Invasion of Lebanon, with Omar Hassan

    Israel’s invasion of Lebanon with Omar Hassan   After a year of genocidal war in Gaza, Israel has now begun a ground invasion of Lebanon. In less than a week Israel has killed over 2000 people in Lebanon through massive bombardment of civilians in the capital of Beirut and a renewed offensive against the already devastated South. Israeli aggression and repeated military strikes on Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Iran have led the Middle East to the brink of all-out regional war.    This episode Chloe spoke to Omar Hassan, a Lebanese-Australian socialist and editor of the Marxist Left Review about the invasion of Lebanon, the threat of regional war and the history of Israeli aggression.    Omar touched on the role Israel has played as attack dog for US imperialism from the Suez Crisis invasion of Egypt in 1956 to the 18 year long Israeli occupation of Southern Lebanon from 1982 to 2000.    This week the Australian Government, the NSW Police and the capitalist media have engaged in a massive smear campaign against the pro-Palestine anti-war movement. The NSW police unsuccessfully attempted to ban the rallies commemorating the 1 year anniversary of the genocide. Omar spoke about the hypocrisy and cynicism of the media as well as the role of Labor in supporting Israeli aggression and US imperialism.   Further reading:   https://redflag.org.au/article/by-attacking-lebanon-israel-seeks-to-expand-its-genocidal-war https://redflag.org.au/article/israels-history-of-aggression-against-lebanon   Get involved with Victorian Socialists   https://victoriansocialists.org.au/candidates/omar-hassan

    Labor's union-busting attacks on the CFMEU

    In one of the worst attacks on a union in Australian history, the Labor government has imposed a dictatorial administrator on the construction union, the CFMEU. This move has disenfranchised the union's entire membership.  Chloe spoke to Jerome Small, ex-construction worker and reporter for Red Flag, about the causes and consequences of this unprecedented anti-union attack.  Further reading "Labor set to impose dictatorial powers over construction union" by Jerome Small in Red Flag  "Strike shows stakes for Queensland CFMEU" by Duncan Hart in Red Flag

    Anti-war protestors vs. the Land Forces weapons expo

    The Land Forces weapons expo is Australia's largest get-together and money-making opportunity for the booming business of war. When it came to Melbourne in September, activists from Students for Palestine and Disrupt Wars protested the orgy of militarism and violence. In response, the Victorian police unleashed hell, firing rubber bullets and torrents of pepper spray at protestors. The media followed up with a barrage of lies about protestors, presenting anti-war peace activists as the violent thugs while cheering on extreme police violence.  Emma spoke to Bella Beiraghi, one of the protest organisers, to get an insider's perspective on the protest and its aftermath.    Further reading: "Guardian fake news helps cops mobilise against anti-war activists" - by Anneke Demanuele in Red Flag  "Inside the Land Forces protest" - by Jerome Small in Red Flag

    Protesting for refugee rights with Aran Mylvaganam

    For over 60 days, Tamil and Iranian refugees have maintained a protest camp outside the Department of Home Affairs in Melbourne. Similar protest camps have spread across Australia's major cities. Their demands are permanent protection and justice for almost 10,000 refugees left in limbo by the federal Labor government. Emma spoke to Aran Mylvaganam, a staunch refugee activist and socialist who has been heavily involved in protests for refugee rights for years.  Aran describes the incredible bravery of refugees who have stood up to racists and neo-Nazis on the streets of Melbourne. They plan to maintain their protest against the Labor government until victory.  Our deepest condolences to the family, friends and comrades of Mano Logalingam, a Tamil refugee activist from the encampment who died. We honour Mano in this episode and call for full rights for all refugees.  Produced by Jack Morrison and Daniel Kenny Music by Daniel Kenny Further reading: - Amid tragedy, refugee protest encampment continues - by Renee Nayef for Red Flag - Refugees fighting for permanent protection in Sydney  - by Annabel Petit for Red Flag - Aran Mylvaganam on the Tamil genocide, 15 years on
