My friend Dr. Gerald Horne stops by to talk about the global rise in fascism and the imperialist nature of the US. We discuss race and racism and their role in our exploitative capitalist system. We also talk about the rise of socialism on the other side of the aisle. I ask Dr. Horne about the rising Pink Tide of socialist governments in Central and South America and whether we will see an uprising again soon! This is an incredible conversation with a intelligent and inspirational human being!
Dr. Horne has written the following books and so much more:
