The Dugout | a Black anarchist podcast

Before the city of Philadelphia dropped a bomb on a Black neighborhood, MOVE spent over a decade building one of the most uncompromising radical organizations in American history. Founded by John Africa in the early 1970s, MOVE combined Black liberation politics with a sweeping critique of modern civilization — technology, education, government, and "the system" itself. In this episode, we trace MOVE's arc from their communal house in Powelton Village to the 1978 standoff that sent nine members to prison, to the catastrophic 1985 bombing that killed 11 people and burned down 61 homes. Along the way, we wrestle with hard questions: What made MOVE so compelling — and so controversial? What does the state's response tell us about the limits of Black radical organizing? And what do we do with organizations that cause harm while also facing tremendous repression?Learn more on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/move-through-157559223---------------------------------------Timestamps:00:00 — Intro & How did you first learn about MOVE?11:17 — MOVE's origins: John Africa, *The Guidelines*, and life in Powelton Village23:20 — The 1978 Powelton Village standoff, the MOVE 9, and the road to the 1985 bombing29:08 — The complicated history: internal conflict, harm allegations, and neighbor relations29:35 — MOVE's beliefs, the GUIDELINES, and how they organized day-to-day37:15 — Discussion: Is being disruptive or playing the "vanguard" actually useful in revolutionary movements?40:20 — Hierarchy, accountability, and how power worked (and didn't) inside MOVE46:45 — Allegations of harm within MOVE and Mike Africa Jr.'s role in the organization's legacy today51:30 — When is Black separatism a useful political strategy?01:00:00 — Outro

In this debut episode, Sudanese anarchist organizer Fawaz joins Dr. Mohamed Abdou for a wide-ranging conversation on the war in Sudan, authoritarianism, colonialism, and the struggle for liberation beyond the state. Together, they unpack the roots of the conflict between the Sudanese army and the RSF, tracing how colonial borders, militarized tribal divisions, resource extraction, and regional powers have shaped decades of violence and displacement. The discussion explores how authoritarian systems manufacture chaos in order to sustain control, while ordinary people are left to survive genocide, war economies, and social fragmentation.The episode also examines the relationship between spirituality, anarchism, and resistance, questioning how religion, nationalism, and identity are weaponized by both colonial and post-colonial states. Fawaz and Dr. Abdou reflect on the construction of violence, the manipulation of children and communities through fear, and the failures of both capitalist and authoritarian leftist projects across the world. At the same time, they highlight traditions of mutual aid, self-organization, and local survival networks already emerging in Sudan through community-run schools, hospitals, and grassroots support systems.Rather than offering simple answers, this conversation challenges dominant narratives around “stability,” international law, and liberation politics, while arguing for a “third line” independent of both military factions and foreign powers. From Darfur to Gaza, from the Arab Spring to anarchist organizing in Sudan, this episode is a deep discussion on resistance, dignity, pluralism, and what it means to build genuinely liberatory movements in the shadow of empire.Read English transcript on our Substack: open.substack.com/pub/tdugout/p/arabic-the-anarchist-group-in-sudan—---------------------------------------------Stay connected with The Dugout!

In this episode of The Dugout, we’re joined by Lebanese writer, researcher, and podcast host Elia Ayoub, founder of The Fire These Times. Together we unpack Lebanon’s sectarian political system, the long shadow of the Lebanese Civil War, and the global political frameworks that shape how people interpret struggles in SWANA today.Elia reflects on growing up in post–civil war Lebanon and how events like the 2006 Israeli invasion and the 2019 October uprising shaped his political thinking. The conversation explores how sectarian governance, regional geopolitics, and foreign intervention—from the United States to Iran—intersect with grassroots organizing and everyday survival.We also dive into campism, a political tendency that reduces global politics to simplistic “sides,” often erasing local movements and struggles. Elia explains why this framework has distorted how many Western audiences understand conflicts in Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine.Throughout the conversation, we discuss memory, nostalgia, and political “hauntings” in post-conflict societies—drawing on thinkers like James Baldwin and the concept of hauntology to understand how nations shape identity through the stories they tell about the past.Finally, we explore the possibilities of international solidarity, asking how Black radical traditions, abolitionist politics, and anti-imperialist movement--------------------------Check out Elia's workhttps://eliaayoub.com/about-2/https://thefirethesetimes.com/https://thefirethesetimes.com/lebanonclass/--------------------------Chapters00:43 What is a Young Elia like01:17 what were some formative experiences for you?02:16 What is writing like for you03:39 What languages were the book you were reading in?04:26 what did expanding your writing and The Fire These Times into a media ecosystem look like?

This episode we examine antisemitism in the black community. What is antisemitism, how does it function, and how does it show up within Black communities?We begin with a reading and reaction to James Baldwin’s essay “Negroes Are Anti-Semitic Because They’re Anti-White.” Baldwin challenges us to think about proximity to power, resentment, and how racial hierarchy shapes perception. His analysis helps clarify how anger at structural oppression can become misdirected toward visible groups rather than systems.We then turn to contemporary controversies, including recent comments from Kanye West and narratives about “Jewish media.” We discuss how conspiracy thinking simplifies complex systems of power into ethnic blame and how this connects to certain strands of Black conservatism0:00 – Opening / Cold Open0:49 – Introduction2:24 – What Is Your Relationship to Antisemitism?9:37 – Reading & Reaction: “Negroes Are Anti-Semitic Because They’re Anti-White” By James Baldwin15:26 – How Do We Approach Standing Up to Antisemitism in Our Communities?16:26 – More Reflection on the Baldwin Piece21:57 – Kanye Interview27:11 – Reflection on Clip30:49 – Kanye’s Point on BLM and Where It Misses32:18 – Prince’s Party Story36:34 – Black Antisemitism and Black Conservatism43:39 – OutroMentioned Media:James Baldwin Essay“Negroes Are Anti-Semitic Because They’re Anti-White”https://nykolami.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2017/12/James-Baldwin-Article.pdfKanye West Interview ClipStay connected with The Dugout!

In this episode, we’re joined by Isabella, an internationalist who has been involved in multiple institutions of the Rojavan Revolution and is currently on the ground in Syria. Together, we trace her personal journey into the revolution and explore the political, social, and feminist structures that have sustained Rojava through years of war, pressure, and transformation.We discuss the foundations of the Rojavan Revolution and DAANES, the role of Mala Jin, Jinwar, and Jineology, and the development of Kongra Star as the vanguard of the women’s revolution. Isabella shares insights into how revolutionary structures endure, how patriarchal attitudes are challenged in practice, and what strategies have proven effective over time.The conversation also turns to the present moment: the media ecosystem in Rojava, the role of democratic confederalism, current conditions on the ground, and the evolving political landscape involving the Syrian Transitional Government, DAANES, and the SDF. We close with reflections on lessons from the Kurdish Freedom Movement and where listeners can go to stay informed.02:59 — Who Is Isabella04:04 — What Was Isabella’s Youth Like04:54 — What Is the Rojavan Revolution & DAANES10:25 — Mala Jin Introduced11:35 — Jinwar Introduced14:38 — Introduction to Jineology19:53 — Jineology as Structure & Publication23:24 — Kongra Star as the Vanguard of the Women’s Revolution27:11 — How Kongra Star Started27:22 — What Structures Have Helped the Revolution Survive / How Do You Get Men to Listen?31:54 — Strategies for Shifting Patriarchal Attitudes35:05 — The Media Ecosystem in Rojava38:00 — How Independent Media Is Being Received40:32 — Democratic Confederalism in the Region48:22 — Current Conditions in Rojava55:56 — The Syrian Transitional Government & Its Relation to Syria and Kurdistan60:00 — DAANES / SDF Narratives & Conditions Under the Assad Regime01:03:09 — Response to STG Decree on Kurdish Rights & Political Demands of DAANES/SDF01:04:23 — Final Reflections & Lessons from the Kurdish Freedom Movement01:07:00 — Where to Stay InformedThe Women’s War (iHeartRadio)https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-the-womens-war-59464911/(Includes reporting on Jinwar and the women’s revolution in Rojava)Kongra Star (Women’s Movement)https://kongra-star.org/eng/homepage/Mala Jin (Women’s Houses)https://kongra-star.org/eng/mala-jin/Jinwar – Women’s Villagehttps://mesopotamia.coop/coops/jinwar/ https://jinwar.net/Kurdish Red Crescent (Heyva Sor a Kurd)https://heyvasor.com/en/Rojava Information Centerhttps://rojavainformationcenter.org/Revolution in Rojava: Democratic Autonomy and Women’s Liberationhttps://www.plutobooks.com/product/revolution-in-rojava/Rojava: Revolution, War and the Future of Syria’s Kurdshttps://pmpress.org.uk/product/rojava-revolution-war-and-the-future-of-syrias-kurds/Rojava in Focus (AK Press)https://www.akpress.org/rojava-in-focus.htmlSyrian Democratic Forces (SDF) – Twitter/Xhttps://twitter.com/SDF_SyriaStay connected with The Dugout!

We begin with who the defendants are and their relationship to the defense work, then move into what’s happening on the ground beyond the state’s narrative.Our guests reflect on the lives and commitments of the defendants before their arrests and trace how state repression has materially shaped their lives and the broader community. They outline major takeaways from this moment, including how the state is revealing its hand, and explain the differences between state and federal charges.We also explore how prosecutors, the DOJ, ICE, and the media have misled the public, what defense committee work actually looks like, and the moments of clarity that have emerged throughout this process. As the episode closes, our guests share what support is most needed for the defendants and the committee, followed by final reflections from Hannah and Xavier.This conversation offers a grounded, first-hand look at criminalization, solidarity, and the work required to hold each other through targeted repression.Chapters00:00 Intro01:33 Who are you and what is your relation to the DFW defense work?02:43 How would you describe what is happening beyond the states narrative?05:03 What kind of community members and organizers were some of the defendants before their arrest?12:09 How has the repression from the state played out materially?16:05 What are important takeaways form this moment and how they state is paying their hand?18:37 What is the difference in the state and federal charge20:51 What are thing that the prosecution, doj, ice, and media have been doing to mislead people in this case?29:23 What has the defense committee work been like?36:15 Have you found any moments of clarity in this process that you want to share?38:44 What forms of support do the defendants and defense committee need currently?42:22 Hannah's last thoughts45:01 Xavier's last thoughts-----------------------------------------Stay connected with The Dugout!

In this expansive conversation, writer and creator Prince Shakur traces the evolution of his political, creative, and personal journeys from being a precocious kid entering college early to becoming a sharp, imaginative voice on YouTube and in contemporary literature. Prince reflects on the early days of his channel, how experimenting online shaped his storytelling, and how technical growth allowed him to more fully realize his creative vision.Across the episode, we examine the pressures of the attention economy, the shifting terrain of journalism and truth-telling, and the responsibilities that come with documenting one’s own life. Prince breaks down the framework and goals behind his memoir, the role primary sources played in shaping his archive, and what he is exploring in his new essay collection. He outlines how hope, discipline, and political intuition shape his decisions, what he looks for in liberatory or emergent spaces, and how he navigates communities that fall short of the futures he imagines.BOOKS 📚When they tell You To Be Good by Prince Shakur https://bookshop.org/a/109212/9781953534934📚Black Reader I: On Searching for Radical Connections by Prince Shakur www.amazon.com/Black-Reader-Searching-Radical-Connections/dp/B0D7JPVXN9/Support independent bookstores by purchasing with our affiliate link on through Bookshop.org.Chapters00:00 Intro03:43 Who are you?05:04 what was a young you like?06:14 How was going into college younger than your classmates?09:45 what was your early YouTube career like?11:54 what has your been your journey crafting your channel?14:56 What made you focus on YouTube as an outlet for your creative vision?17:01 How has your technical growth impacted implementing your vision for your work?18:34 How do you feel attention economy side effect are impacting the writing and blogging scene21:29 what is your read on the Journalistic and truth telling part of the world right now for creators and consumers24:30 Prince's memoir goals and framework26:37 When doing memoir research, what primary resources did you find useful and how does that impact the archive you leave for yourself now?29:02 With your new essay collection, what are two major themes or questions your exploring30:02 What are you hoping to be surprised by or encounter in this writing process?31:58 Role of Hope in your decision making34:30 How do you approach discipline36:48 What structures and dynamics do you look for in new political and social spaces?38:41 How do you move through a space that doesn't have what you like to see40:06 What kind of media scenes do you see The Dugout existing within and in community with?44:05 What does being a revolutionary mean to you and what impact does that have on your planning?45:55 What does rising up mean to you?48:12 what question do you want answered before you pass?48:23 What do you envision for your late years?52:15 What infrastructure is needed to make the life you want to happen?53:44 If you could time travel but only one way when are you going?1:00:05 Bank Heist Roster: Celebrity & Fictional Character Edition1:02:08 Last Thoughts—---------------------------------------------Stay connected with The Dugout!

In this conversation, we sit down with an organizer and fighter from the internationalist front in Myanmar to explore the lived realities of the Spring Revolution and the autonomous women’s struggle rising from within it. Moving from poetry to political analysis, we discuss what it means to take up internationalism in practice, not as an idea, but as a commitment carved through shared danger, discipline, and deep love for the people.We trace the formation of the AIF (Anti-Fascist Internationalist Front), the roots of women’s autonomous power in the hills, and the political and cultural contradictions that shape collective life under war. We talk about comradeship, grief, and joy as the emotional infrastructure of revolution, the role of art and memory, and how different cultural understandings of gender and liberation collide, transform, and re-form through struggle.This episode is a meditation on building political consciousness in motion, forging international solidarity without romanticization, and creating structures capable of holding not only power, but freedom itself-----------------------------------------01:33 Intro02:24 Poem05:59 What does being an internationalist mean to you?08:42 What is context did the AIF come from within the Spring Revolution?15:15 Context cont.

In this reupload of a collaboration between The Dugout Podcast and In the Mix Prisoner Podcast, we sit down with historian and organizer Garrett Felber to explore the life, politics, and legacy of Martin Sostre. From defense committees and anarchist theory to gender politics and prison abolition, this conversation traces Sostre’s journey through incarceration, radicalization, and post-release activism. We reflect on the lessons his struggles offer for today’s movements—on prefigurative politics, horizontal organizing, and the fight for liberation inside and outside prison walls.00:50 Introduction and Host Introductions02:11 Garrett Felber's Journey with Martin03:34 Historical Context and Defense Committees06:56 Decentralization and Horizontalism11:48 Prefigurative Politics and Anarchist Theory16:43 Martin's Legal Struggles and Organizing29:44 Debates on Prisoner Rights and Martyrdom36:19 Linking Personal Struggles to Broader Movements36:33 Reevaluating the Attica Rebellion37:18 Prefigurative Politics and Individual Liberation39:15 Martin's Journey to Anarchism41:33 Gender Politics and Bodily Autonomy42:24 Influences and Radicalization52:37 Martin's Post-Incarceration Activism56:38 Reflections on Prefigurative Politics59:34 Personal Stories and Political Awakening01:02:00 Current Struggles and Historical Lessons01:05:31 Concluding Thoughts and Future DirectionsMentioned Media:BOOKS 📚 A Continuous Struggle: The Revolutionary Life of Martin Sostre by Garret Felber - Buy Here -https://bookshop.org/a/109212/9781849355902Support independent bookstores by purchasing with our affiliate link on through Bookshop.org.—---------------------------------------------Stay connected with The Dugout!
