Topic: Authoritarianism and Suppression of the Opposition
with special guests: Danny Haiphong and Carl Zha
Session Description:
This session features Danny Haiphong, journalist and host of Chronicles of Haiphong, who has long exposed the mechanisms of empire and the suppression of anti-imperialist movements. Alongside him, Carl Zha, host of the Silk and Steel podcast, will discuss how narratives around ‘democracy’ and ‘human rights’ are weaponized to justify crackdowns on opposition, particularly in rising multipolar resistance.
Through a CODEPINK-inspired theory of change and anti-imperialist feminist lens, we will analyze state repression, from the crackdown on Palestine solidarity encampments and student activists to ICE detention and deportations. Participants will engage with firsthand testimonies from organizers and explore practical strategies for resisting repression, building collective resilience, and protecting one another in the struggle for justice.
