On Contact: Resistance & the left with Paul Street
Journalist Chris Hedges talks to author and political commentator Paul Street about the failure of the American left, new forms of resistance, democracy, and the deep roots of America’s ruling oligarchy.
If I can get you to watch one video for the week, let this be it. Especially if you're a democratic supporter. You're supporting a party that no longer exist.
The democratic party has long retreated back to their 19th century ways of racism, blockade of the working class, and social concern for our society. Beginning in the Reagan era our society begins to crumble beneath us, by the time Bill Clinton is done, there is no left, left. That party, illusion, is never coming back. As Paul Street correctly puts it. These are adults, they know what they are doing, they don't care if they lose to the right.
The problem is not the republicans or Trump. The problem is a political system dominated by corporate power. If you don't vote for this party it will be disastrous no longer works. Notice how Paul Street correctly relates the very collaborations of compliance I and others here have brought forth between democratic leadership and Trump. The brilliance of the Trump con I've often mentioned. Recent mentions I've made of the judicial court system seats Obama left open, now being filled by McConnell and Trump on steroid like fashion, related to the Evangelical and Federalist Society. I'll quit here after this and let you get on with the video. But when Chris Hedges says he wants to get back to the left, he's not talking about the party not understanding or seeing it, he's talking about society, us. And the Sanders factor.
