  1/200 Campaign Season E19 - The Racist Rhetoric of Winston Peters

  Aug 15, 202659 minS3

  The Migrant Workers Association organised a protest against the rising tide of racist and anti immigrant rhetoric from political parties and leaders as the elections near. Winston Peters' racist tirade against Lawrence Xu-nan in parliament, alongside his party's anti immigrant rhetoric aimed at harnessing votes by dividing the working class and distracting from failures of their policies were key issues that motivated the protest. The protest featured satirical street theater, which evoked a triggered response from Winston Peters. Among other things, we discuss the contradictions within Winston Peters' politics and the history and intent of street theater within protest movements. We’re joined by Anu Kaloti and Joe Carolan.

  Episode #15

  1/200 Campaign Season E15 - The Cockroaches are Here to Stay

  Jul 28, 20261h 22mS3

  The recent student-led uprising in India received international attention and forced concessions from the Modi government which was long seen as having few formidable political challengers at the national level. The movement has put a dent on the notion that the corporate-BJP nexus in India is infallible. Left student movements played a significant role in the success of the satirical 'Cockroach Janata Party' movement. We discuss the context of the movement, and touch upon various dimensions of the movement including the role of the media - both local and global. Is this a moment of hope for India?  This episode’s co-hosts Josephine, Oscar, Sneha Timestamps 0:00 Opening / Introductions 0:56 Indian Political Anxiety 8:14 Wellington Protest 12:48 Background 25:50 Demands 36:40 Expanding Indian Medical Education 43:13 Media 50:40 Social Media 59:52 Land Reforms 1:05:05 Takeaways 1:20:50 Closings Intro/Outro by Jiahu Symbols Support us here: https://www.patreon.com/1of200
