"Organic Intellectuals: Unleashing the Power of Critical Consciousness"

Join us in our latest episode of the Liberating Minds Podcast as we dive deep into the concept of 'Organic Intellectuals' coined by the influential Italian Marxist thinker, Antonio Gramsci. In this captivating interview, two passionate comrades explore the transformative potential of critical consciousness and its role in dismantling oppressive systems.

As we navigate through a world plagued by inequality, neoliberalism, and capitalist exploitation, it becomes essential to understand the power of ideas and knowledge in shaping our collective destiny. Through thought-provoking dialogue and insightful analysis, we uncover how organic intellectuals emerge from the very fabric of society, challenging the dominant narratives and offering alternative perspectives.

Drawing from real-life examples and personal experiences, our comrades shed light on the vital role organic intellectuals play in sparking social change. From grassroots activists to community organizers, these intellectual warriors bridge the gap between theory and praxis, actively engaging with the struggles of the marginalized and challenging the status quo.

In this dynamic conversation, we explore the strategies they employ to empower communities, and the impact they have on shaping a more just and equitable society. By harnessing the power of critical thinking and knowledge, we can liberate minds and ignite a collective awakening that transcends the boundaries of oppression.

Ep 9. Organic Intellectuals: Unleashing the Power of Critical Consciousness

Liberating Minds Podcast aims to provide an alternative voice and interpretation of the struggle against oppression, inequality, neoliberalism, and capitalism in Kenya. Information is never neutral; our society is the victim of distorted history and censored information making us a passive population. We feel there is a proud history of resistance in Kenya that needs to be told. In liberating minds, we will review progressive radical books, topics, movements, and documentaries  in an attempt  to expose the deliberate misinformation and education that we all go through to make us docile. We will Liberate Minds!
