Welcome to the very first episode of Extracted, the podcast where we analyze global politics, economics, and state power through a mutualist lens.

In our inaugural episode, hosts George Nguyen and Alex Thymmons dive straight into one of the most pressing geopolitical crises of our time: the escalating and illegal military actions taken by the United States and Israel against Iran. We break down the mechanics of modern imperialism, how state-driven warfare extracts wealth and resources from the working class to fund overseas conflicts, and what this means for the anti-war movement today.

Through a mutualist critique, George and Alex examine how unchecked state power and military-industrial monopolies perpetuate violence, and why decentralized, anti-imperialist opposition is more vital than ever.

In this episode, we cover:

• The historical context of US and Israeli intervention in Iran.

• The legal and ethical breakdown of the current conflicts and covert warfare.

• How the military-industrial complex extracts wealth from local economies to fund state violence.

• A mutualist approach to anti-imperialism and global solidarity.

🎙️ About Extracted: Hosted by George Nguyen and Alex Thymmons, Extracted provides a mutualist critique of the modern world. We tackle imperialism, state monopolies, and capitalist extraction, advocating for decentralized power, free association, and a truly equitable society.
