EDITOR—Episode 21 of Garland’s indispensable chats with Joti Brar, examining the ever more deranged behaviour of the US regime as its hegemonic power to dictate to the world diminishes in the face of enormous changes in the political and economic complexion of the world, as the vast majority of nations seek a path of sovereignty, cultural independence, egalitarianism, and peace that rejects the “American model”. Topics include: the rapid rise of fascism in the US empire, and the capitalists’ recourse to permanent wars and chaos across the planet to maintain their dominion. This is a MUST-WATCH, MUST SHARE discussion. Be sure to send to friends, kin or workmates.

THOMAS FAZI—The Wagenknecht phenomenon is fascinating — and unique — for several reasons. Not only has she managed to establish the BSW as one of the country’s major political forces in a matter of months, but she’s also running on a platform that is unique in the Western political panorama, at least among electorally relevant parties. Though Wagenknecht tends to avoid framing her party in tired Left-Right terms, its platform can best be described as left-conservative.
