Subscribe to TYMSYY if you don't already and help us grow the show*** This is the first installment of our collaborative series on Indigenous Anti-Communism with Nick Estes of The Red Nation Podcast. In this episode, we first introduce our intentions for the series and discuss why it matters to complicate and systematize the various discourses on anti-communism. We then turn to Ward Churchill (1947-2026), the American author and academic, and his edited volume &quot;Marxism and Native Americans&quot; (1983). Featuring Winona LaDuke, Vine Deloria Jr., Russell Means, and various Marxist writers, the volume became a foundational text for anyone interested in debates over Marxism and its relevance to Native American politics. However, as we learn in this episode, the volume's history and Ward Churchill's own legacy may not be as theoretically clear-cut as they seem. Nick Estes illuminates how the volume's anti-Marxist arguments distorted Indigenous understanding of Marxism and communism, which is reflected in the continued misunderstanding of the histories of anti-imperialist Indigenous solidarities.
