This is easily one of Caleb Maupin's bravest, most urgent and most lucid chats. Simply indispensable. Every American looking for explanations and solutions to the rapidly advancing national and global crisis should take a listen. The world is pregnant with desperately needed social change, and the choice is clear: It will be either Fascism or Communism. The former represents, as usual, the preferred, default solution endorsed by the global imperialist ruling elites. Fascism entails massive destruction, violence and death, and the triumph of the Big Lie and possibly the end of freedom in much of the planet, if not the planet itself. On the other hand, true communism can save the US and the world from such a fate, but the obstacles in its path—starting with the capitalists' control of mass media and the pervasive toxicity of anticommunist exceptionalism—aggravated by the rise of a huge fake left (which includes numerous liberal Fifth columnists), are simply colossal, all of them manufactured and disseminated by the global oligarchy. Meanwhile, to make matters a bit more difficult for social change activists, the ecological crisis does not give humanity much time to put its house in order.
