Abby Martin & Immortal Technique: Civil War

Legendary rapper Immortal Technique joins Abby to discuss the escalating tensions of the post-Trump era, the duopoly playing Americans, right-wing cooptation of conspiracy theory and deep-state critique, teaching real history and much more.

One of the underlining concepts of Marx and Engels socialist works was that it would always be an infinite struggle in regards to being successful. Think of ying and yang. When you take we must give back. The universe creates itself out of a primary chaos of material energy, organized into the cycles of yin and yang and formed into objects and lives. Yin is the receptive and yang the active principle, seen in all forms of change.

{What uniquely characterizes the thought of Marx is that, instead of making abstract affirmations about a whole group of problems such as human nature, knowledge, and matter, he examines each problem in its dynamic relation to the others and, above all, tries to relate them to historical, social, political, and economic realities.}

All these things have and will continue to change over time to face an infinity of confrontation. As Immortal Technique makes the correlation to our political and social structures. Then also adds a touch of the means of production to it on a capitalist aspect. Capitalism doesn't care about people freezing and dying, or the 30,000 a day starving to death unnecessarily globally. It doesn't confront the issues, like growing inequality, it expands the problems of all issues. You leave Afghanistan worse than it was, move it to Ukraine. With hopes to spread it to Russia, while it spreads throughout your own country's and beyond. We've allowed this to be normalized.

His projection of the 2 party duopoly and their supporters is masterful. The naked truth has been written on the wall for decades actually. It's well past time for many to hit that wall and wake up. Those who claim to be on the left, progressive, or socialist, have you sold out?

Fair warning. There is a degree of strong language in this discussion. This guy is intense. Rightfully so. He's displaying a view of everything I've been attempting to deliver over the years. I strongly encourage everyone to view the entire discussion. It provides a decent degree of clarity to the narrative of the group.
