Novara FM: Mourn the Dead, Fight Like Hell for the Living w/ Sarah Jaffe

“Don’t mourn, organise” were the final words of American labour activist Joe Hill before his execution in 1915. But sometimes our feelings of grief don’t lend themselves to good organising – sometimes we might just want revenge. In her forthcoming book, critic and journalist Sarah Jaffe looks at the many kinds of grief that shape our social and political lives, from family bereavement and mass death during a pandemic, to factory closures and the spectre of climate breakdown. She joins Eleanor Penny to talks about the ghosts of the industrial worker, the fate of capital’s “sacrifice zones”, how Israel tries to weaponise Jewish grief, and what to do when we are denied the means of mourning our lost futures. From the Ashes: Grief and Revolution in a World on Fire is out in the UK on 10 October. Help us build people-powered media: https://novara.media/support

Novara FM: Fascism Is Not The Exception w/ Alberto Toscano

In recent years we’ve spent a lot of time arguing about fascism – what it means, what it looks like, and how we would know if it had returned. That typically brings us back to the European fascism of ’30s and ’40s, with its uniforms, symbols, marches and camps. But the philosopher Alberto Toscano, currently teaching at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, wants us to look beyond historical comparisons to think of fascism not as an aberration, but as an aspect of a much longer process of colonial domination. He talks to Richard Hames about the uncomfortable connections between liberalism and fascism, drawing on ideas from Angela Davis, W. E. B. Du Bois and Theodor Adorno and thinking about racial fascism, conspiracy theory, climate denialism and the far-right in Israel. Late Fascism: Race, Capitalism and the Politics of Crisis is available from Verso. * We’re up against huge power and influence, but Novara Media’s supporters keep us entirely free to access.

Novara FM: Are India and Pakistan Gambling with Nuclear War? w/ Mohamad Junaid

Last week, a terrorist attack in Indian-occupied Kashmir sparked a rapid military escalation: planes were shot down, thousands were arbitrarily detained, the houses of suspect’s families were blown up. How did we get to a situation in which the safety of the whole world is threatened by the occupation of Kashmir? Richard Hames spoke to Kashmiri scholar Mohamad Junaid about the brinkmanship of India and Pakistan, what daily life is like under endless occupation, and, of course, The British Empire.

Downstream IRL: This Ideology Threatens Our Fundamental Freedoms w/ Judith Butler

For a special edition of Downstream IRL, Ash Sarkar is joined by philosopher, author, and one of the world’s most cited academics, Judith Butler. Their new book, ‘Who’s Afraid of Gender’ charts how a transphobic moral panic morphed into an all-our war on so-called ‘gender ideology’. Together, Ash and Judith explore how Britain became TERF island, the limits of self-identification, and what really defines a woman.

Foreign Agent Episode 6: One Last Job

By the 1990s, a faction of Irish republicans were turning away from militancy and setting their sights on peace. A political future for the campaign would require more money, more lobbying, and even deeper engagement with the United States – though not with Irish Northern Aid, now tainted by its long association with the IRA. Instead, Noraid was wound down, causing splits and divisions that linger to this day. Yet the IRA’s American support group has had a strange afterlife, as Nate Lavey investigates in the final episode of Foreign Agent. With the Good Friday Agreement in the rear view mirror, did Noraid help the IRA on one last job? The interview with Michael Flannery is part of the NYU Oral History Archive of Irish America. The interview with Brendan Hughes is from the film Voices from the Grave and is courtesy of Ed Moloney, and the interview with George Harrison was recorded by Matthew Siegfried in 2004.
