Summary
<p>We sit down with Sudip Bhattacharya to discuss *Combat Literature: On Writing & Revolution* and <strong>Authoritarianism Is Not the Issue. Fascism Is.</strong>We explore the role of literature in political struggle, from Frantz Fanon to the Black Panther Party, and ask what makes writing truly revolutionary. Then we shift into a critical debate on authoritarianism, fascism, and power—unpacking George Jackson’s claim that “fascism is already here,” the limits of free speech, and whether dismantling elite control requires new forms of authority.A focused conversation on writing, revolution, and how power actually operates.Follow Sudip Bhattacharya on Substack:[<a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmNHSTdid2Jielc3Zk8wUU9mN3hQcEZJNV92Z3xBQ3Jtc0tuR3lPdENwVlk2XzlCemdhS2hqOWxQajlDYV85cmF6TUpnWk9MQ1VrTDVKMVM1bkxiR1NoUEhGM2JXb09KNDR4RnRrWGdmclFiV0dkb2tZRHNTZ1o0bEF0Q19sc0Y1THI3YmQ0eHR5amQtRWFFM3ctdw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack.com%2F%40sudipbhattacharya%3Futm_source%3Dglobal-search&v=1gqRcMIDSxg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://substack.com/@sudipbhattachar...</a>](<a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa3BERzg2WTZoQ2dPSmVzOGdmZWlCZDBaNFpad3xBQ3Jtc0trQ2pZTlByT1lZV3c3SjNzcUJVSzZpVGxSdUJyMW50ODJmclBTWmZ0WE03NDFWMXBVLVlTc0hVWXdFVXRLVHRRQjE3T1d0bHNFVzlKU1VOelBlcTNRcXJGUmxtdnZLRmVUSWhkOVNhYlFIY3Nub0Iwbw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack.com%2F%40sudipbhattacharya%3Futm_source%3Dglobal-search&v=1gqRcMIDSxg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://substack.com/@sudipbhattachar...</a>)</p>
