Today marks 100 years since the birth of the beloved Malcolm X, a figure who left a lasting impact on The Black consciousness movement, Pan-Africanism, and the struggle for human rights in America. Revolutionary Baddies is proudly joining the world as it celebrates Malcolm's life and legacy, by releasing a special episode "There is no Revolution without Evolution". In episode 2, we focus on Malcolm's evolutionary journey as an example for all to embrace personal transformations in the face of new knowledge. Building the muscle for revolutionary actions requires one to be in a constant state of metamorphosis, propelled by a cycle of both learning and unlearning. Each phase we move through offers its own wealth of knowledge through lived experiences. It's never too late to join the struggle and to expand our politics.
During the episode we briefly touch on international solidarity, Dee Dee's experiences and challenges as an organizer, Palestine, the need or lack thereof of 50 states, imperialistic enemies, allies, the importance of joining an organization, the potential for building within The Black Church, and much more.
Questions for our listeners...
How are you evolving politically? What have you learned that significantly transformed your views towards liberation? If you're in an organization, drop the name in the comments for those looking to find an organization to call home.
