Hello everybody and welcome back to Revolutionary Left Radio slash Red Menace.

Today's episode is a little different.

We're basically unlocking a Patreon bonus episode that we put out last month on our Red

Menace show and it is on the Battle of Algiers, the 1966 film depicting the decolonial struggle

on the part of the Algerians against the French colonialists.

The film, the Battle of Algiers, is really inspired by and goes hand in hand with the text,

the French phanon text, the wretched of the earth.

And so in this episode, my co-host for Red Menace, Alessanez Galante and myself talk about

the film and we relate it to the text, wretched of the earth and then just pull out a bunch

of other key concepts in this terrain of political thought and action.

So we wanted to unlock this, we wanted to really let our Revolutionary Left Radio audience

know what we're doing over on Red Menace.

So if you're interested in moving over there or at least checking us out, I just want

to quickly explain what we do on Red Menace for those who don't know.

Alessanez and I really take theoretical text, Lenin's imperialism, France phanon's

wretched of the earth, text by angels and marks and we work through them systematically.

The first section of our episodes is Alessanez and I explaining the text, so literally

going through it and telling you what the author is writing, basically teaching the text

to people and then the second and third section of every episode is Alessanez and I discussing

the text and then applying its lessons to our contemporary conditions.

So that's what we do over on Red Menace and we thought by releasing this cool little

bonus episode on a film that I think most people should be aware of and if not, go check
