Resistance & Spirituality w/Adnan Husain - PsychLib 19

Marxism, Religion, and Resistance: A Deep Dive with Adnan Hussein

In this episode of our PsychLib podcast, Adnan Hussein joins us again for an in-depth discussion on the intersection of Marxism, religion, and resistance.

We explore the genealogy of religion in the modern world, the role of religious faith in anti-colonial movements, and the contradictions of religion as both a force of liberation and oppression.

We also examine the psychological dimensions of resistance, the cultural roots of spiritual practices, and the influence of Western Marxist thought on global movements.

Join us as we confront these complex issues and reflect on the revolutionary potential of spirituality and religion.
