Jimmy Dore: Wide-ranging interview with Chris Hedges. (Absolute must see).

Jimmy Dore and Chris Hedges discuss the capitalist/imperialist disease eating the world alive today in all its manifestations: wars and runaway corruption; ecocide in plain daylight, the plotting of nuclear wars right under our noses, plus the consequent liberal betrayals (including the sheepdogging of figures like Bernie Sanders); the absence of a real left, the stunning (and unchallenged) cynicism and hypocrisy of the US political elites, the vile servility of the (largely) upper middle-class media personnel, and the coming corporatist repression. Hedges, an idealist socialist and sometimes anticommunist who fortunately has been traveling left for a long time—and for which he deserves plenty of credit— examines a large number of issues afflicting every ordinary person's life, but the tragedy is that almost all of these people, still very much indifferent, distracted or stubbornly ignorant about such threats, will soon be crushed in even harsher ways than they already are, by an imperial system which has been perfecting its tools of oppression for generations.
