A music video about gaslighting: it's a political commentary. Gaslighting is a colloquialism loosely defined as manipulating someone into questioning their own perception of reality.

Συζητούν οι Κωστής Κορνέτης και Μάνος Αυγερίδης

Στις 25 Απριλίου 1974, η Επανάσταση των Γαρυφάλλων ανέτρεψε το καθεστώς του Estado Novo (Νέο Κράτος) στην Πορτογαλία. Η επαναστατική διετία (1974-1975) περιλάμβανε σημαντικές πολιτικές και κοινωνικές αλλαγές, και είχε ως αποτέλεσμα το τέλος των αποικιακών πολέμων, τη διεξαγωγή δημοκρατικών εκλογών και το νέο, πολύ προοδευτικό Σύνταγμα του 1976. Στην Ισπανία, τον Νοέμβριο του 1975 τον θάνατο του δικτάτορα Φρ. Φράνκο ακολούθησε η έναρξη μιας συναινετικής και ελεγχόμενης, από το ίδιο το καθεστώς, διαδικασίας εκδημοκρατισμού. Η ισπανική Μεταπολίτευση (Transición) βασίστηκε στην ιδέα μιας “νέας αρχής” και μιας “συμφωνίας λήθης” του παρελθόντος. Στην τελευταία εκπομπή του αφιερώματος “50 χρόνια Μεταπολίτευση” ο Μάνος Αυγερίδης συζητάει με τον Κωστή Κορνέτη, επίκουρο καθηγητή Σύγχρονης Ιστορίας στο Αυτόνομο Πανεπιστήμιο της Μαδρίτης, για την ιστορία των δύο μακροχρόνιων δικτατορικών καθεστώτων της ιβηρικής χερσονήσου και των αντίστοιχων δημοκρατικών μεταβάσεων της δεκαετίας του 1970. Μεταβάσεις παράλληλες και πολύ διαφορετικές, τόσο μεταξύ τους, όσο και με την ελληνική Μεταπολίτευση του 1974.

Within minutes of former president Trump's attempted assassination on 13th July 2024, Elon Musk posted on X: “I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery,” along with a video of Trump raising his fist after being shot in the ear. Musk has since pledged hundreds of millions in campaign support and on 13th August conducted a 2 hour long live phone conversation with Trump on X.

But why is Musk wading into politics? He's already stupendously successful, with multiple highly profitable businesses to his name. Does he really need to publicly choose sides?

What can couscous, Soul Food and meat-free meals tell us about the everyday lives of people in the past? Prof. Kate Ferris is joined by Dr Sarah Frank and Dr Peggy Brunache to explore all things food history! Tune in as they discuss everyday food practices, agency and power among French Colonial POWs in WW2, citizens of Fascist Italy, and enslaved people in the Atlantic Slave Trade, and find out why Slave Cuisine is such an important concept and why we should all be thinking more about our meals.

Miniatures is the podcast of the ERC-funded ‘Dictatorship as Experience’ project at the University of St Andrews. We show how the big picture in history is best seen through the assemblage of individual and local stories, what the German historian Alf Lüdtke called ‘miniatures’. At Miniatures, we forego a studio model and instead adopt a ‘guerrilla’ approach to podcasting, grabbing interviews on handheld recorders with busy researchers whenever and wherever we can find them: in their offices, at conferences, or at a distance via video chat. 
Please do excuse any sound-based issues that may occur as a result of this method. To learn more about the wider project, visit: https://arts.st-andrews.ac.uk/everyday-dictatorship/

Miniatures Episode 17: Everyday Food Histories with Dr Sarah Frank and Dr Peggy Brunache

As Syrian rebels advanced on Damascus in a surprise lightning offensive, the Rojava Kurds seized territory from the Bashar Assad regime, and the Druze took up arms in their own region. After years of the lines in the conflict being frozen and the genocidal Assad dictatorship being "normalized," on Dec. 8 the unthinkable happened and the dictator fled. Suddenly the 13-year aim of the Syrian Revolution has been realized—the fall of the regime. But the lead rebel faction, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), has an ugly past, its partner the Syrian National Army (SNA) is in the political orbit of Turkish aspiring dictator Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and the threat of Arab-Kurdish ethnic war in northern Syria looms closer. Amid a conflict now dominated by armed actors, can the unarmed civil resistance that began the revolution 13 years ago re-assert itself, and revive the secular-democratic spirit of 2011? In Episode 255 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg takes a hard look.

Syria: after the fall of the regime

As alterações para o limite do défice que a Alemanha se prepara para aprovar, são uma revolução? Os sinais de que os EUA serão numa ditadura já estão todos lá? Os piores regimes instalam-se passo a passo? Portugal está no mesmo caminho? Aguiar Branco tem-no trilhado? Quem poderá ser o maior responsável pela quedo do governo?
Que cenários resultarão das eleições? A abstenção sobe com o Chega? E o PS e PSD?


Ep. 250 - O relaxamento alemão; A ditadura nos EUA; A queda do governo em Portugal

Die Demokratie ist in Gefahr.
Überall auf der Welt.
Menschen, die die Freiheit lieben, müssen sie schützen,
Bevor Sie sie verlieren.
Kämpfe für deine Rechte, verteidigt die Demokratie.

Democracy is in danger.
All over the world.
People who love freedom must protect them,
Before you lose them.
Fight for your rights, defends democracy.

Iranians Battle Mullahs' Tyranny

US-directed repression and counter-insurgency in El Salvador in the 1980s allowed the imposition of "free trade" or "neoliberal" regimes in the generations since then—ultimately culminating in the adoption of CAFTA. This, in turn, has exacerbated the expropriation of the traditional lands of the peasantry by the agro-export oligarchy. It also led to the hypertlophy of the narco economy and a new nightmare of violence, which Nayib Bukele has exploited to establish a new dictatorship. This dictatorship is now openly in league with Donald Trump, and has in fact become critical to his fascist agenda. In Episode 275 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg breaks down El Salvador's historical role as a laboratory of genocide and police-state methods for US imperialism, and the imperative of trans-national resistance.

In 1970s Brazil, the Paiva family lives a charmed and tranquil existence. As the country around them slips into dictatorship, the family has managed to hold on to something close to normality. However, that peaceful life is suddenly and brutally shattered as the outside world comes crashing in.

Some are drawing an ominous analogy between Charlie Kirk and Horst Wessel, the early martyr of the Nazi cause. In Episode 296 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg offers a more ominous analogy still: to José Calvo Sotelo, the Spanish fascist leader whose assassination in 1936 provided the expedience for Generalissimo Franco's coup d'etat that initiated the Spanish Civil War—and ultimately brought a decades-long dictatorship to Spain. Trump's declaration of antifa as a "terrorist organization" since Kirk's assassination is an open acknowledgement of his fascist intent. Fortunately, anti-fascist protesters are repudiating Kirk, and the wave of racist terror and anti-left reaction now being unleashed coast to coast.
