Liebe Freund*innen und Genoss*innen!
Alles ist teuer und Kapitalismus stört im Alltag ja sehr. Am Samstag, den 05.11.2022 machen wir als (A)Radio eine kleine Austauschrunde gegen Inflation und für den gemeinsamen Kampf um das gute Leben. Das Ganze passiert von 16 h – 18/19 h in Berlin im New York Bethanien. Es wird zwei kurze Inputs geben zu Themen wie warum ist grade Inflation, was hat das im Allgemeinen mit Kapitalismus zu tun und was sagt Vater Staat eigentlich so unhilfreiches dazu. Danach tauschen wir uns darüber aus, wie wir als Bewegung darauf bereits reagieren und weiterhin reagieren wollen und können.
Ziel der ganzen Sache ist es, gemeinsam anarchistische Handlungsfelder für uns zu erschließen. Speziell als (A)Radio wollen wir zu dieser Unternehmung in den nächsten Monaten Audios beitragen und möchten uns dazu von euren Ideen, eurer Praxis und euren Fragen leiten lassen.
Kommt vorbei und bringt gerne Interessierte und Vertraute mit!
Klassenkämpferische und li(e)bertäre Grüße! Euer (A)Radio

As Anarchist Radio Berlin we had a conversation with a comrade from the New York based anarchist podcast Rebel Steps, which is also a member of the Channel Zero Podcast Network. Liz talked to us about how she was affected by the recent presidential elections and how her neighbourhood in NYC welcomed the end of Trumps presidency. Furthermore, we touched of course the topic of the corona pandemic as well as ways to respond to right wing violence on the street and the attempts by the media to blame „white anarchists“ for riots during the recent uprising. Last but not least, Liz also shared with us some nice examples for how people still organize and what might be some of the upcoming struggles in NYC.

We recommend to listen to our first interview on the same topic: “The Final Straw Radio on the current political situation in the USA“.
As Anarchist Radio Berlin we had the opportunity to talk to Bursts and William from The Final Straw Radio, co-members of the
Channel Zero Podcast Network.
During the 90 minutes of talk, we are taking some deeper dives into the 2020 US elections and other US political topics like Trumpism and conspiracy myths like QAnon. But also current everyday as well as political life under the ongoing pandemic. And the increase in grassroots mutual aid organizing across the so-called United States of America. Paired with a general look back on 4 years of Trump and all the forms of resistance against it as well as an outlook on what is to come.
Unfortunately, towards the end some of the audio got lost, so at some point only Bursts is giving answers. Despite that, this interview might be right for anyone who feels like their understanding of what’s been going in the US has declined over the last years.
Check out the Final Straw Radio on their blog.
Also consider supporting Bursts and William on Patreon or via other means.
We recommend to listen to our second interview on the same topic: “Rebel Steps on the current political situation in the USA“.
