Imani Ellis has always believed community is a superpower. What began as a small gathering in her Harlem apartment grew into The Creative Collective NYC and CultureCon — one of the largest conferences celebrating creators of color. But behind the highlight reels and celebrity speakers, Imani’s journey has been defined by burnout, bold leaps and learning when to pause. In this episode, Ben and Kathleen sit down with Imani and explore what it takes to transform a passion project into a cultural movement. From balancing a demanding career at NBCUniversal with late-night CultureCon planning, to walking away from work at the height of burnout for a self-designed “creative residency” in Paris, Imani shares the realities of leadership, rest and why joy and community must stay at the center of her work.

The Conservative Party is licking its wounds after its disastrous showing at the General Election. Never in their history have the Tories received such a low share of the vote. But Starmer’s win is extremely shallow. Despite five years of work purging the left and cosying up to big business in the name of electability, Labour also received the lowest the share of the vote this century. So how do we understand these events? What do socialists and Marxists say about where we should go forward from here?

The Tories are on their way out! But a Labour government will be just as committed to serving the interests of big business.

Through the 1960s until the 1990s, the Militant Tendency gained infamy for its defence of Marxist and socialist ideas within the labour movement in Britain.

The Spanish Revolution 1931-38 was one of the great workers' revolutions of the 20th century. But it was also one of the great tragedies. Stalinism played a crucial role in its eventual defeat.

Since the explosion of struggle against systemic racism and state violence in 2020, a new generation of workers and young people have asked: what sort of approach is needed to help in the fight for liberation? At the same time, there has been a right-wing backlash against the ideas of 'Critical Race Theory'. But do CRT provide a way forward? Or does Marxism have more to offer? Or are the two compatible?

As Marxists, we follow the example set by the Russian Revolution of 1917, as the greatest event in human history - a milestone in the fight for a world liberated from oppression, exploitation and war. But we are also often told lies about what the revolution was and what it represented. In this episode of Revolutionary Ideas, we will be interviewing Rob and Lilly from Sotsialisticheskaya Alternative (ISA in Russia).

5 years之前38:48

38:48

'The Communist Manifesto', written in the 19th century, remains widely read, but not always understood. Often misrepresented and distorted by the capitalist class and Stalinism alike, it is more important than ever that we ask, “what did Marx and Engels really stand for?”. As we enter the stormy decade of the 2020s, with mass struggles on the horizon, rediscovering the real ideas of Marxism is needed to prepare us for events to come.
