Episode Summary: In our second episode, Ezra and Alexis facilitate a conversation with Josué and special guest Carlos, a member of the Red Condor Collective and academic researcher, about the influence of indigenous activism on the Colombian communist movement. The conversation mainly touches on the first half of the 1900s leaving the second half open for further analysis in a later episode. From the Quintinadas of the first decades, to the indigenous and peasant leagues organized and the foundation of the Colombian Communist Party in 1930 with members like Jose Gonzalo Sanchez, Cesar Niño and Eutiqio Timote Tique.

For our introductory episode, Juanes, Yhamir, Josue & Ezra dive into the long and bloody history of Imperialism in Colombia. Since the times of Spanish conquest, Colombia has been a victim of colonialism and imperialism, which is directly responsible for the violence and economic hardships the country endures. From the U.S. military to multinationals, banks and narcotrafficking, imperialism has ingrained itself into almost every aspect of Colombian society.
