And then.

The Hello everybody and welcome back to Red Menace. So today we start our

basically three-part series on France Fanon's Wretched of the Earth.

So today we're covering the first two chapters on violence and the grandeur and weakness

of spontaneity.

And then next month we're coming back and doing the next

two chapters and by the end of the year we'll have covered this entire text and

that is when we will move back to Marks and Angle specifically we've always

told our listeners we're doing this interesting

trajectory where we cover a lot of the basic Leninist and Maoist texts and then we

come back to Marx after a year of that with all of that stuff in mind and hopefully

bring some new light to the original

mark so that will be coming at the very beginning of the new year but for the next

two to three months we will be working through this amazing text

uh... the wretched of the earth by france finon and that's what we're going to start today.

So yeah, this is going to be a pretty long episode so I'm going to make the intro very short and sort of finish it there.

And let's just go ahead and start diving into this amazing text. So, Allison, if you want to just go ahead and start us off.

Awesome, cool. So yeah, I'll go ahead and start the text off. So I want to start by just acknowledging this text is very hard to summarize and so we'll probably go a little bit longer in the summary section than we normally would. Please bear with us. Phonon's writing style is very, very beautiful,

but also very difficult to track at time.
