Ep 113 - Indigenous Marxism

In this episode, Dr. Brandon Sanchez returns to discuss the development of Indigenous Mayan Marxism in Guatemala. We trace how Guatemala's revolutionary movement evolved from often treating Indigenous peoples simply as peasants toward confronting questions of colonialism, racism, nationality, and Indigenous self-determination. We explore the ideas of organizations including FAR, EGP, MRP-Ixim, MIT, and MAYAS, and how Indigenous revolutionaries synthesized Marxism-Leninism, anti-colonialism, Pan-Mayan politics, and Indigenous cosmovision. We also discuss proposals for a socialist federal and plurinational Guatemala and what these debates can teach revolutionary movements today.

We explore the ideas of organizations including FAR, EGP, MRP-Ixim, MIT, and MAYAS, and how Indigenous revolutionaries synthesized Marxism-Leninism, anti-colonialism, Pan-Mayan politics, and Indigenous cosmovision.
