EDITOR—Harpal Brar, Caleb Maupin and Joti Brar discuss the nature of Imperialist war, the importance of revolutionary defeatism, and the fact that Imperialist war isn’t an aberration within capitalism, but an inevitability while capitalism holds sway over the world.

Now that Fox News and Tucker Carlson have parted ways, the news host’s former employer is doing everything possible to smear him and explain the network’s reasoning for having to let him go. The latest – a private text message from Carlson and other videos leaked to liberal outfit Media Matters, designed to paint Carlson as a racist, has fallen flat and actually depicted Carlson in, if anything, a positive light. Guest host Aaron Maté and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Carlson’s comments, including his curious appraisal of the difference between how white people and people of color fight.
