We begin with solidarity with Sudan and trace James’s path from growing up rural to finding anarchism and becoming a conflict reporter. From Venezuela to the Darién Gap, we explore what it looks like to practice kindness in conflict zones and why mainstream media so often misses the role of love, care, and mutual aid in struggle. The conversation moves through communes, gardens, and the small everyday ways people resist, before digging into solidarity journalism and rejecting the myth of objectivity. From there, we get into the core ideas behind his book, including lessons from Myanmar’s decentralized resistance, debates around anarchist military formations, and what history teaches us from Spain to today. We unpack questions of violence, accountability, dual power, alongside reflections on internationalism and unity under pressure. We close with advice for ethical journalists, thoughts on revolutionary strategy, and a reminder that even in the harshest conditions, kindness and solidarity remain central to building a different world. ------------------------------------------------------- Read more of James Stout's work.... 📚 Against The State By James Stout patreon.com/Jamesstout jamesstout.net ------------------------------------------------------- 01:00 Meet James Stout 02:10 Growing Up Rural 04:32 Finding Anarchism 11:54 Kindness in Conflict Zones 14:38 Venezuela Lessons 19:31 Communes and Gardens 23:23 Small Ways of Saying No 27:53 Solidarity Journalism 34:28 Rejecting Objectivity Myths…","meta_description":"In this episode, we sit down with James Stout, a conflict reporter and author of Against the State: Anarchists and Comrades at War in Spain, Myanmar, and…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":6541,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-dugout-a-black-anarchist-podcast-6944129/episodes/a-constellation-of-revolutions-an-interview-with-james-stout/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-dugout-a-black-anarchist-podcast-6944129/a-constellation-of-revolutions-an-interview-with-james-stout.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
