Farce, Finance & Fascism: Margaret Kimberley on Empire in Decay
🕑 Added 2025-04-15 12:53:43 +0000 UTCIn this powerful and wide-ranging conversation, Margaret Kimberley—senior columnist at Black Agenda Report and a leader in Black Alliance for Peace—joins Breht to dissect the spectacle of American decline and, as usual, Kimberley offers a razor-sharp analysis of late-stage capitalism’s collapse into cruelty, chaos, and confusion.
Together, they explore the Democratic Party’s complicity in ushering in this moment, U.S. weapons transfers to Ukraine in support of their proxy war against Russia, and the genocidal assault on Gaza as a revealing - if disturbing - lens into the true nature of the American empire. Kimberley also shares firsthand insights from delegations to Nicaragua, Venezuela, and China, illuminating how the Global South is resisting U.S. domination and reshaping global power.
For those feeling the weight of worsening economic conditions, rising fascism, and political demobilization, Kimberley offers hard-won wisdom about organizing in the belly of the beast. We close with discussion about where real hope can still be found.

This has become my favorite episode. I am so 🤩 you emphasize organizing here. I'm sure you get tired of saying the same thing and this, if anything, is the topic I think needs emphasis every episode. Black alliance for peace always reinforces the importance of organizing even with DSA to make gains locally

Breht, can you link those YouTube channels that post videos of Iran? Sounds great.
