    Episode 826 - University Challenge feat. Basil Zacharia Rodriguez (4/23/24)
    / chapo-trap-house
    Art/Animation by Emily Halaka @emilyhalaka
    Will interviews Basil Zacharia Rodriguez, an activist and student at Columbia University involved with Columbia Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) about the ongoing demonstrations taking place there. They discuss the goals of the protests, the media response, and the University’s economic interests in both Palestinian occupation and displacing New Yorkers in Harlem.
    Then, Amber and Felix join to continue the discussion of the media freak-out over campus activism, as well as the trial of Donald Trump, and two reading series exploring the sexual pathologies of Spectator columnists and Rabbi Shmuley.

    But she's getting way more shit done than I am, so maybe I should go to "get shit done" bootcamp.

    Keep in mind, the boomers you are speaking about are the rich ones. They have a stake in the status quo.

      The "peace and justice" boomers being "not as active" is exactly the problem. For anyone under the age of 50, and _certainly_ those under 30, the reactionary and conservative boomers who voted for Reagan, Clinton, W., and Trump, the lesser-evilists who collaborated in the MSM gaslighting campaign to make even tepid left-centrists like Sanders unelectable, and those who either gave up or sold out after the defeat of the New Left, if they weren't Goldwater Republicans or Birchers to begin with, are the very vocal and seemingly modal face of the baby boomer generation. If you've actually walked the talk all this time, you're certainly in the minority in your age group.
      Too many who continued to think like you did stayed quiet for decades and let the trade unions and other workers' organizations rot and fester instead of keeping the flame lit. The rich boomers are ultimately to blame, sure, but let's not forget that your generation, by and large, have failed to improve the subjective conditions needed for a successful revolution after the organized left got turbofucked and subsequently lobotomized by McCarthyism, COINTELPRO, Gladio, etc. Today's youth are leaderless amnesiacs still picking up the pieces and only just rediscovering Marxism half a century later, still further behind in terms of organizational capacity than in the late 19th century.

    The problem here is that like all protests and 'movements' in the US these past few decades, is that they burst forth, unoriganised, as an expression of grief or frustration and lose all momentum eventually. Nothing will change until all movements converge, have concrete demands, and work/strike in perpetual and unshakable solidarity. We need to move past 'issue' based thinking.
    This will blow over in a couple weeks and they'll all go back to class. The system wins if you just make some noise alone. Because it waits you out.

    • @ultravioletiris6241

      Well that’s the main mechanism that keeps the elites in control. The main thing they have to their advantage is organization. If the masses could be as organized, the elites wouldn’t be nearly as ubiquitous. We aren’t going to see “all movements converge” unless its part of the organizational planning of the ruling elite.

    • @ultravioletiris6241
      @ultravioletiris6241 Před měsícem +2

      The difference between elites and masses is simply communication and organization. The masses are not physically capable of the type of unity that you see in the ruling class. This is a historical trend for all of post hunter-gatherer civilization. There are a multitude of reasons why this is, but the myth of democracy tends to prevail for most people. But actually the vast majority of civilization has been empire vs the masses. To an extent it has been social-psychologically deterministic

    • @blackdog9698919
      @blackdog9698919 Před měsícem +7

      The reason they're unorganized is because the state systematically murders and jails leaders and organizers. That's why rich people who aren't stupid fund the state; that's its purpose. The state collapses once rich people cut funding to the point that it can no longer suppress resistance.
      It doesn't mean resistance is pointless, or that even unorganized demonstrations can't have an effect. It does mean that it's disingenuous to criticize resistance movements in the U.S. (or anywhere, frankly) for being disorganized and leaderless. It's not a conscious choice made by these people, or a consequence of them being dumb or whatever, it's because the state is doing what it's paid to do. Resistance can't be organized until the state's monopoly on power is broken. As long as the state's monopoly on power remains, it will not allow organized resistance to its rule.

    The administrators are probably focused on the money, but I bet they are also mad about being embarrassed by the students simply for broadcasting their various financial connections in a way that is clearly negative, which is not something that Columbia is willing to face or acknowledge. They expect the students to go along with the status quo, one in which the educational institution continues to portray itself as a bastion of free speech and democratic values, when in reality its indebted to capital, just like every other faulty institution in this country.

    The worst part about all this is how much you guys want to criticize these kids. They are kids, still forming their ideologies. They exist in the society that created them and are attending the schools they are available to them. They are attempting to do good and hold a position the same as you. What do they get from 'the left?' Anger and derision. Instead of accepting them as fellow travelers who are putting comfort and status on the line you scoff at them for not doing enough. Ideological purity doesnt function in the real world. Either build bridges with those who share similar values or get nothing done. Feel smug in your superiority as the world crumbles.

    The fact that the protests are still going on is definitely a positive sign that things are changing. I still just don't understand how divestment is supposed to work though. If Columbia sold their shares of Soda Steam or whatever, a different bank would just buy them.
    Universities do definitely play a role in capitalism by technically and ideologically training up the next layer of workers, but I just don't see how it's possible to defeat imperialism by fighting the admin on individual college campuses. The people who could actually stop imperialism overnight are the port workers, truckers, and the rail workers who voted to strike in 2022 but were legally prevented from doing so. It sounds like those rail workers have plenty of reason to be upset with capitalism and our government considering it just screwed them over lol. It's a question of linking their grievances to the fact that they're being asked to transport ~$40,000,000,000 worth of weapons which they unwillingly paid for via their taxes, on top of being exploited as workers, despite there supposedly not being enough to pay for sick leave. Making that link will probably require the sort of party which Lenin talked about in What is to be Done. It's easier said than done I guess, but I don't see how else we can end imperialism.
    A group only focused on one campus or on one topic (Palestinian liberation) will probably never be able to do that though since they just don't have those tactics and seem to think we can make individual imperialist institutions take on a fundamental different function through divestment while keeping capitalism in place, which I don't really think is true. In the same way, voting in AOC didn't make Congress 1% more socialist, it made AOC 100% less effective as a socialist.
    tl;dr I'm glad that people are doing this, I just don't think these demands or tactics are going to achieve much unless they go beyond the campus and actually try to connect with actual workers by building something bigger than this one movement.

Conveniently none of them suggest doing any of the hard work themselves. Everyone wants to direct the revolution from the comfort of their screen and keyboard
      These students are getting beaten, arrested, suspended, expelled, doxxed, and blacklisted from getting jobs, all for engaging in a tradition of protest that America sucks its own dick over.

    As revolutionary actions grow, Chapo is becoming less and less relevant. Chapo's line is to provide snarky comments and say nothing will ever change and it is sounding more and more out of touch. Chapo is becoming unlistenable with guests talking over the hosts and vice versa and jokes becoming more and more based on obscure movie references. Amber shitting on the protesters is hilarious, as if pretentious podcast comments are the high point of praxis! Will laughing at his own jokes before he tells them is very irritating. And everything is "awesome" and "based" so it is impossible to tell when they are being ironic.

Literally half your family comes from a real 21st century settler colonial context, how can you compare that with getting priced out?? How can you compare bulldozers demolishing your house for the 192nd time and arresting your grandfather and little niece bc they're the wrong ethnicity?
