I haven’t posted in a while - too much work. Here I've put together a short selection of great #podcasts on the revolutionary Black movement in the United States - from its connections with the Comintern and the CPUSA to the emergence of an independent Marxist workers’ movement in Detroit.

Black Radicalism and the USSR — The Eurasian Knot

Meredith Roman and Minkah Makalani on Black radicalism, the Comintern, and Soviet antiracism.

Black Communists and the Soviet Union with Gerald Horne — Reimagining Soviet Georgia

Discussion about the political connections between the Soviet Union, the CPUSA, and the Black liberation movement. The conversation covers Paul Robeson, Black Marxists, communist involvement in struggles against segregation, and the ways in which Cold War competition with the USSR increased pressure on the US government over civil rights.

The League of Revolutionary Black Workers — Working Class History

On the League of Revolutionary Black Workers, which emerged among Detroit automobile workers in the late 1960s. The League sought to combine resistance to racism in the workplace with class-based workers’ self-organization and a broader strategy of socialist revolution. The episodes feature the voices of movement participants.

Well, and if anyone's interested, there's also an article about how a Hungarian in the USSR came up with the constructivist concept of race.
