On the music break, Bambu with “The Queen is Dead.” Our featured guest is journalist Dawn Paley, talking about her book “Drug War Capitalism”

this episode of

"it's the end of the world as we know it,
and I feel fine"

was made possible by

contributions from slaves like you

spank you very much.

For five years
I've been traveling across the country

learning and listening and one of the most
hopeful signs i've seen

is this new drug crack. each time I meet
with someone new

I yearn to find a way to help
share the message that

drugs open your eyes to life,
to see it in the vivid colors that

God gave us as a precious gift
to our children

to enjoy life to the fullest,
and to make it count,

so to my young friends out there

life can be great

and when it comes to
drugs and alcohol

there's a big wonderful world
out there for you

[It's the END of the World AS we KNOW it
and I feel FINE]

goooood morning slaves

and welcome to another sedition of

"It's the END of the World
AS we KNOW it and I feel FINE"

the show were sexist porkers get their
just desserts

what is it?

Chicken François, Jack.

I wish you'd stop reading those magazines.

Whatever happened to meat and potatoes?

I don't know, Jack.

You tell me.

I'm your host stimulater

and this past weekend millions of women
from across the world

took to the streets to celebrate
International Women's Day and to

collectively assert their demands for
reproductive autonomy

and anti-sexual violence and social
economic and political equality

with their male counterparts.
my hope

and it's the hope of all the world's
women - is that men and women be

equal both of them. the same rights and
the same duties

although the holiday itself has long
since been coopted by evil fucking

corporations

NGOs and international development
agencies it was originally started by

commies and for over a century

It has served as an important date for
militant demonstrations by

badass revolutionary feminists of all
political stripes

way back in 1917, It was a
riot on International Women's Day march

in saint petersburg

that first kicked off the Russian
Revolution.

(ALARM RINGING)

wait, wait, what is that?

"...incoming troll..."

Uh, what's with all this stale ass
orthodox Marxism

and liberal identity politics garbage?

for fuck sake who let this troll in here.

Joey, what the fuck is going on back there

...Mama!!

no seriously, Stim.
what happened to you.

first do an episode on Murray bookchin
and now you're big upping

International Women's Day
and the Russian Revolution?

when did you start to
drinking the leftist cool ade?

what do you have coming up
after the musical break,

Taylor Swift singing the fucking

internationally?

stick to the riot porn stim.

uh, some of us are trying
to realize our fucking

desires here?

well then maybe you should
actually go and riot yourself

instead of just watching clips online

and be sure film it

so that you can be on my fucking show

without wasting everyone's time

like this

don't tell me what to do

"leftist"!

there is to be a revolution,
there must be a revolutionary party.

it seems like

anytime feminist issues are
critiques get raised,

some cisgender dude feels the overwhelming
need to freak the fuck out

I know he like, sexually asaulted someone,
but he does really good work.

within anarchist circles this
behaviors often flagged as

"MANARCHISM"

and while it's come to be generally
acknowledged that sometimes

peeps can go a bit overboard
calling folks out for their privilege

this should not be used as an excuse by
anarchist to gloss over the fact that

male entitlement, is a huge fuckin problem
and the patriarchal social relations that

underpin it need to be fucking smashed

men and boys are in crisis and they need
your help

and they need your support
because they are human being

too.

in recent years certain defenders of
male privilege in North America

have coalesce into a slimy community of
fedora wearing ponytail Crusaders

known as men's rights activists or "MRA"s

tonight's broadcast of
the masculine feminist

has been commandeered by
the secret society

no ma'am

national organization of man against
amazonian masterhood

these sad pathetic loser
spend the majority of their time

lurking on reddit forums,

hating on feminists and blaming the
past three decades of women's

advancements

for the fact that sometimes
life under capitalism is fucking hard

what are you doing?

shut up stupid girlfriend!

wrrrrrrrrrr!!!

patriarchy!

now, even though MRAs are

easy to make fun of that doesn't mean
that they aren't dangerous

and that their misogynistic youtube rants
don't have serious consequences

in real fucking life

on the day of retribution

I am going to enter

the hottest sorority house of UCSB

and I will slaughter
every single spoiled

stuck up blond...slut
I see inside there.

MRAs often downplay or even flat out deny
the extremely high levels of

gendered harassment and physical
assault that women have to deal with

every fucking day

this all-pervasive atmosphere of sexual
violence is

often referred to as rape culture

and it is the primary weapon
used by men

to maintain their dominant
social position

under patriarchy.

Relax.

we'll be gone in a moment. or...I will.
I've hired these men to lurk on your

sidewalk and pay you compliments

all

day

long.

for the better part of a
decade now in northern India

a movement a badass women
known as the Gulabi Gang

has been building itself a fierce
reputation

in a membership numbering in the tens of
thousands recognizable by their matching

bright pink saris these women patrol
the countryside

of Uttar Pradesh, looking for abusive men
and kicking the shit outta them with

huge bamboo sticks

can anyone fight alone? power comes from
struggle

then my battle is not for myself
alone, I have seen the

pain that women suffer

and they just keep on joining me.
Any woman who is suffering is with me,

it's their battle.

in addition to targeting individual
rapists and wife beaters

the women of the Gulabi Gang have been
known to lay down beatings on

misogynistic cops, corrupt politicians
and greedy bosses

all while running massive self defense
trainings and advocating for

broader social transformation.
While india is by no means

a bastion of gender equality the

actions of the Gulabi Gang have
resonated strongly

with women across the country

and have helped to spark a growing shift
in public perceptions

around sexual assault

and gender dynamics and through their
uncompromising

physical attacks on the defenders of
male privilege,

they provide important lessons

for feminist movements here in the
Global North.

If MRAs think they have it

bad now

maybe they need to be reminded that it
can always get a whole lot

fucking worse.

This is not a song to get a girl here

Or get a girl to bed
A proclamation that

the Queen is shot and dead

'Cause way too many peers of
mine kick rhymes

Throwin' lines like "Queen"
in they vocabing

At the same time
grindin' on a woman at a club

While the wife spend the nights
with his kids

He sees his life like a bid

While his wife bought him shit
when words fly

So, I'm here to check these brothers

Tell these sisters
they ain't lyin'

I know these players out here
say I'm blockin' that cock

Thing is I'm man enough to step up
while the rest of y'all not

Some of y'all got daughters,
and all of y'all got moms

Y'all be treating other women
like y'all hate y'all moms

Kanye had a coma
who taught woman at Clark

But when he raps,
he be beats every young woman apart

Right? Somebody check me if I'm wrong
Take a bad yellow bitch and make her drop

The Queen is Dead!

Oombayabaya
I heard the Queen was dead

(I heard the Queen was dead)
I heard the Queen was dead i say

I heard the Queen was dead

(I heard the Queen was dead)
I heard the Queen was dead

in 2006,
mexico's former （人の名前）

announced that

he was launching a military operation

to rein in the country's increasingly
powerful drug cartels

VIVA MEXICO!

two years into this campaign calderone's
greasy gringo companeros in the US State

Department escalated shit up

by introducing plan marida
multi-billion dollar joint

security initiative

aimed at further
militarizing the Mexican state

we are supporting Mexican
law enforcement

or for that matter colombian law
enforcement Central American law

enforcement we're not

just helping or supporting Mexico or
Columbia or Central America

were getting real direct value and
impact

in the United States of America

i promised the american people
i would do something

about the drugs pouring into this
country

you are.

support the columbians' efforts
against the cartels

with equipment and...

that accomplish nothing

now nearly a decade into the so-called war
on drugs over 100,000 peeps have been

killed or disappeared by paramilitary
cartels

and members of the mexican popo. despite
the staggering death toll

the drug trade is still going strong
with some estimates putting its total

value at between 25 to 30 billion

fucking dollars per year
drugs... why?

in order to understand this incredibly
fucked up situation I recently caught up

with Dawn Paley

freelance investigative
journalist and author of a new book put

up by AK Press entitled

"drug war capitalism"
hey Dawn, how the fuck are you?

pretty fucking good, thanks.

so what the fuck is drug war capitalism?

drug war capitalism is
about how the drug war is

is not actually about
cocain and marijuana but

but it's actually about
expanding capitalism

creating these conditions for

more capitalism in mexico,

in central America,
columbia and elsewhere.

in your book you say that
the drug war

is a war on the people. just what the
fuck do you mean by that?

so when I say that the drug war is
a war on people

what i mean is that
it's not a war about cocain

it's not about marijana

it's about controlling. social control.

and i argue that social control
through the drug war. in mexico,

in central america, in columbia,
is excercised through

through terror.
so you have tons of disappearances,

murderers, threats,

all kinds of aggressions

against regular folks

by the state and
by some of the cartels

and paramilitary groups

that's what the drug war is about.
and that's what i mean by

"war on the people."

in your book you also say that
Naomi Klein's shock doctrine theory

didn't work in mexico. talk about that.

so in her book the Shock Doctorine,

Naomi Klein explains that
the shock doctrine took place

in mexico and what i argue in this book
is that

it just didn't go far enough in the

same I argue, for example, that NAFTA,

the North American Free Trade Agreement

didn't go far enough to open up Mexico to

foriegn direct investment
and transnational capital

you still have over half of the land
in Mexico is communally owned,

you know, until a year and a half ago

you know one of the largest oil companies
owned by the Mexican government

and so those are the kinds of changes
that weren't possible through

that first attempt, the shock doctorine.

that's where i argue
the drug war comes in.

Is there a connection
between the wars on drugs and

the 43 missing normalista students?

I argue that it's deeply connected to
the war on drugs

i mean, what the war on drugs has done
in mexico through the Merida Initiative

with a huge amount of U.S. funding is

militarize the entire country

create all these splinter groups
and fractions

of you know, of trafficing groups,
and basically make the

country a far more violent place.
so the drug war -

the Merida initiative - is crucial

in creating the context for something like

the kidnapping of 43 students by police

and their disappearance possible

I think before the drug war started

it would have been pretty hard
to imagine something

like that happening here,

like, ten years ago, for example.

Recently Mexican pigs captured

top Setacantrero grand wizard,
Omantrarovino Morales???

and Knights Templar
pimbraca Servando Gomez???

does this mean that
the Mexican government is

finally doing their fucking job?

I think, Stim, that you gotta ask yourself

what the Mexican government's job is.

um, I think that...
What I argue in the book is that

their job is just like other states,
just like every other state in the world.

it's to, um, you know

ensure that corporations are able to
work on their territories

within a legal framework

and enrich the elite while fucking over,

um, you know,
the majority of the population

will the capture of these
two pimp grand wizards actually

reduce violence in Mexico? No, infact,

you know we've seen over and over again,

and the opposite is true.

when they capture these types of folks

or kill them, usually just leads to
more violence

thanks Dawn.
and that's about it for this sedition of

"it's the end of the world
as we know it and i feel fine"

as is customary
i'd like to acknowledge the slaves

who put some cash out of their

nearly empty wallets to help make this
anti capitalist propaganda video mash

happen

also want to let ya motherfuckers
know that February was our biggest

fucking month yet

in terms of reach. and the videos we put
out that month

touched over 100,000 pairs of eyes. not
bad for a low budget anarchist news show

but we owe a bit of gratitude to the
folks who help spread the word

and share our shows when they come out.

so wanna send a spicy guacamole
shout out to

"a revolt digital anarchy" "films for
action" "you're a non-us???"

"the ex worker podcast" and
"revolution is" for helping us

get the word out

with that said we get a lot a requests
from people who want to help out

but are fuckin broke.
the best way you can assist us

is by spreading the word about this
fuckin show by giving us a good

review on iTunes, your blog, or crackbook
or rebroadcast in my foul fucking mouth on

your radio station, public access TV
channel

or projecting our videos in an alley. all
of our productions come with download

links to video and audio files

and of course these can be downloaded to
your computer automatically

by subscribing to our fucking podcast
and all our videos are

anti-copyrights

so you don't need to ask us for
permission if you wanna burn them on a

DVD

or chop them up to make a mash-up. all
the shit I just talked about

is just a few clicks away on my fucking
website stimulator

.tv so long for now. and like drug
