In episode 84 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan talks with Ōme (aka SugarSkullAngelic), a Mexican content creator and educator with over 40,000 followers on TikTok, bridging cultural identity, political analysis, and grassroots activism. Ōme breaks down the hidden history of U.S. interference in Mexico, from CIA-backed presidents to the 1968 massacre that still haunts the country's left. She explains why 60% of Mexicans now support China, why negative sentiments toward the United States are rising, and how Mexico's leftist government under Claudia Sheinbaum is navigating the delicate balancing act between the US imperialist aggression and the multipolar world China, and Russia promises.

In episode 83 of Global Majority for Peace, founder of the Haqooq‑e‑Khalq Party and council member of Progressive International, Pakistani activist and academic Ammar Ali Jan, returns.

Fresh from Tehran during the collapse of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire, Amar describes millions in the streets chanting revenge, the defiance of families of martyred scientists, and the fruits of a multipolar world emerging in Iran.

He discusses Pakistan’s contradictory position between IMF‑entrenched elites and a pro‑China future, the neoliberal trap hidden in the $300 billion MoU, and why anti‑imperialist solidarity across the Global South is essential in the do‑or‑die fight against empire.

In episode 82 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan speaks with Isabella Aidar (Socialista Champagne), a Brazilian‑Canadian activist, political educator, and UX designer for Tech for Palestine. Radicalized by Occupy Wall Street in 2011, Isabella traces her journey from journalism student to anti‑imperialist, scientific communist.

They discuss why anti‑imperialism must be the primary struggle for any serious movement, how the CIA co‑opted Marxism through conflation and co‑optation, and why the Global South holds more leverage than ever before. Isabella breaks down the different strategies for the Global South (technology transfers, state ownership, local production) versus the Global North (mutual aid, political education, combating the labor aristocracy). She also reflects on the trap of electoral politics, the importance of disciplined organizing spaces, and why the US empire is inevitably going down swinging.

In episode 81 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan sits down with George Kanjere, community and union organizer and member of the Red Anti-Imperialist Collective in Australia. Born in Zimbabwe and raised between there and Australia, George traces his journey from the Australian Greens to Marxism-Leninism, radicalized by Aboriginal deaths in custody and the reality of third world conditions inside one of the wealthiest countries on Earth.

They discuss what it means to build a revolutionary movement in the imperial core, why anti-imperialist views without domestic power are just "academic vibes," and how organizers must meet people where they are, not demand they come "pre-cleansed" of conservative ideas. George breaks down the Red Anti-Imperialist Collective's strategy: prioritizing First Nations liberation, organizing in women-dominated sectors like education and healthcare, and exposing how Australia's economy is owned by BlackRock and Vanguard. He also reflects on the long transition from capitalism to socialism, the importance of internal party culture to prevent abuse, and why women's liberation is an existential question, not identity politics, for any serious revolutionary movement.

In episode 80 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan is joined by Professor Michael Dutton, political theorist and China specialist, to explore how China’s revolutionary project reshaped political subjectivity, state power, and everyday life and why Western frameworks fail to grasp it. Formerly a Reader in Chinese Politics and Social Theory at the University of Melbourne and later Professor of Politics at Goldsmiths, University of London, Michael is the author of influential works including Policing and Punishment in China, Streetlife China, Policing Chinese Politics, and most recently The Book of Politics: China in Theory (2024).

He traces the formation of his political worldview and examines the central question animating his latest work: what conditions transform people from capitalists into socialists? Drawing from decades of research, he breaks down the methodologies, policies, and psychological shifts that shaped China’s political transformation from Mao’s adaptation of Marxism to the evolution of Communism with Chinese characteristics.

In episode 79 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan is joined by Giovani Del Prete, Brazilian militant of the Movimento Brasil Popular (MBP) and member of the Continental Secretariat of ALBA Movimentos, to unpack the latest wave of U.S. imperialist escalations in Latin America. Giovani draws on his organizing experience across Brazil and the region to explain how Washington is tightening pressure on Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, and Venezuela as they push toward sovereignty, integration, and a multipolar world.

He breaks down the indefinite general strike in Bolivia, the social forces leading it, and how the rise of President Rodrigo Paz reflects a familiar pattern of U.S. intervention against governments that challenge neoliberal orthodoxy. Giovani also examines Colombia’s political crossroads as President Gustavo Petro faces investigations and elite backlash for opposing the U.S. drug war, rejecting sanctions on Venezuela and Cuba, and calling for deeper South-South cooperation.

In episode 78 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan is joined by Triploi, @triploi historian, content, creator, and host of the Triploi Podcast, to unpack how Western historical narratives are constructed and why they consistently erase the Global South. He traces how a childhood fascination with World War II led him to question the omissions in mainstream history, discover historical materialism, and understand the deep entanglement between colonialism and capitalism over the past 500 years.

Triploi explains how this lens reshaped his politics, why so‑called “radicalization” is often just education, and how social media unexpectedly became a platform for accessible political history. He also examines Australia’s position inside the U.S.‑led imperial system, from the 1975 dismissal to today’s alignment with Washington’s China strategy, and why anti‑China narratives dominate Australian media and think‑tank discourse.

Triploi has been a fan of history since he was a small child, with a particular passion for 20th century history and the World Wars. But what started as an interest in mainstream history eventually turned into a need to understand WHY things happened. 20+ years of study later, in areas as varied as aviation, sociology, politics (and more history of course) Triploi is determined to not just examine history but question why it is written the way it is, and why the western-centric, capitalist worldview has become so dominant, and what we can do can to fix all the damage it has caused across the globe.

In episode 77 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan is joined by Tings Chak, researcher, writer, and Asia Co-coordinator of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research to unpack why Asia has become the central frontline of US strategy. She explains how Washington is rapidly rebuilding a regional military architecture, from new bases in the Philippines and the militarization of Okinawa to arms sales to Taiwan, while countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, and Australia navigate this new Cold War landscape through their own histories, contradictions, and constraints.

She also examines the limits and openings of BRICS and South‑South initiatives, arguing that Asia’s militarization reflects a dying world order and underscoring the need for regional, anti‑imperialist solidarity.
