For almost four years we've been speculating about the end of a certain period of history and hoo boy is it here!
In this part one of the thirteenth installment of HIAW, Matt and Sean return to talk about the roots of this current turbulence: What are the forces aligned for and against the 'rules-based international order'? How has the calculus of the various ruling classes changed in this zero-sum moment? Are there even good guys or bad guys to root for? And how has the seeming exit of the working class from history worked out for humanity? Not so good, it seems...
In part two we delve into the muck and mire of the XXth century, the hopes and dreams of communism, and the bitter denouement of 1991.

After the episode on Lenin's imperialism with Erin Hagood, we decided to get a different perspective on the Ukraine war and other current events with Australian anarchist-communist Matt Crossin (@MattCrossin).
How does Australia fit into the global economy and capitalist hegemony? What are the uses and limits of theories of imperialism? How are anarchists in Ukraine and Russia confronting the upheaval of war? And how might working class power be forged in this chaotic and desperate time?

Andy and Sean talk more with Erin Hagood of Platypus about our political horizons. Do we still need a Leninist party? Do the global wave of uprisings point towards revolution or the Democratic Party? Is Antifada Post-Left?

Andy, Sean, and Platypus Erin Hagood go over the details of a historic panel on the crisis in Ukraine, then segue into the question of Lenin's definitions of imperialism and revolutionary defeatism and what clarity they offer today, if any.
