I love these conversations. Liberal government vs fasicst government is simply a difference in mode of capitalist governance. That idea alone is world changing.
Imho, the most crucial topic today. Fascism is here.
As CRT.
@@lloydgush Did CRT orchestrate the largest single transfer of wealth in 2020? $6 Trillion via the CARES Act?
@@presterjohn1697 Yes, it was party to the lockdown bull and blatant money printing.
And the burning of black neighborhoods.
They call themselves Antifa.
@@caseymckenzie4760 Nah, they're called Wall Street.
'The power of the US driven cultural apparatus to create a spectacle of liberal governance in order to better maintain the fascist international ..' GR
'Theoetical but important to understand ...' JS
Liberalism Fascism ; Good Cop Bad Cop
The forces that by stealth or overtly disrupt socialist movements to protect capitalism & profits
Not many people accept that movies, academia, music are politically curated .
Your all encompassing analysis restores my sanity.
A clear explanation which untangles the confusion of ideas broadcast everyday in media.
THANK YOU!
Didn't you guys took derrida supposedly descrbing fascist tactics and ideology as a hit to do exactly what he described?
And therein lies our work. Make them Irrelevant!
Thank you, Brilliant as always, along with the expert panel, it was illuminating and pertinent,
a kindling to stacks of hay.
16:50 its not 800 military bases anymore, now its 900
Around 43:00, about Ford being a fascist, how do we interpret the fact that he also contributed to the soviet revolution by economic contracts etc.?
Ford was definitely an anti-Semite etc. Probably had Nazi sympathies. However, you're quite right about the US haute bourgeoisie investing in the USSR as well as Nazi Germany. The Koch family for instance, made much of their fortune in the USSR, as far as I know. I think the great depression explains this quite well. Profitability in the capitalist core (and perhaps even the periphery?) was low during this period (say 1929-1939). Things were different in Nazi Germany, presumably due to their use of industrial slave labour (actually it was worse than slave labour) and things were different in the USSR due to the state led model (and debt repudiations in 1917, de-linking etc).
This is a weakness in Rockhill's narrative that I too picked up on and one that I would like him to address.
I LOVE that George Jackson is a reference point here!!!! only 130 likes, when this should be THE conversation 😭
Is BRICS offering a alternative to fascism (or) is it just Capitalism 2.0 with a splash of color.
The question and analysis provided by the formerly incarcerated person, starting around 1:44:00, are really important to consider, in my opinion. The talks I've heard from Orisanmi Burton, relating to his book _Tip of the Spear,_ seem to support to the view put forward by George Jackson and the person who asked the question here. I'd love to hear Prof. Rockhill and Prof. Burton hash this out together.
Temu ran the 99 Cent store out of business. Multipolar is winning!!!!!
Militant class collaboration?
I used to like Timothy Snyder but he's been undermining his credibility for the past year and if others are like me, he's become suspect and no longer trustworthy.
And all these people make a good living from the system they criticize.
