Kieran and Josephine talk to Joe Carolan of Stop Wars Aotearoa who are having a rally this Saturday (13 June) to protest US imperial aggressions. As a background we discuss why the US might be considered the Great Satan, what its history of genocidal imperialism entails, and why we need popular mobilisation to resist. The revolution will not be televised nor memed. We need to start organising in real life and that begins with a presence in the streets.
