b'Open / Outro: United Forever Fight Together by Rebel Riot, punk band from Myanmar \\u2013 https://therebelriot.bandcamp.com/track/united-forever-fight-together \\n\\nWe\\u2019re joined by Matt Dagher-Margosian \\u2013 founder of Asia Art Tours and host of The Arts of Travel podcast. We start off talking about some problems in how Anglo/Western leftists often frame and discuss global radical politics, particularly in Asia, as an entry for getting deeper into the pitfalls of engaging in study without action. That is, the necessity of building international solidarity, engaging with struggles against state violence, centering those who have a stake in struggles, and making movements like decolonialism and anti-racism dangerous again. Matt ends the episode by providing us with an excellent list of resources for radical media in various Asian countries. And here\\u2019s the lecture at Brown University by Joy James we reference: The Architects of Abolitionism - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9rvRsWKDx0 \\n\\nCheck out Asia Art Tours: https://asiaarttours.com/blog/ \\nListen to The Arts of Travel: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-arts-of-travel/id1406775458\\nFollow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/asiaarttours \\n\\nSubscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! patreon.com/thismachinekills \\n\\nTMK shirts are now available: bonfire.com/store/this-machine-kills-podcast/ \\n\\nHosted by Jathan Sadowski (twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).
