The Global Rise of Fascism Requires A Global Antifascist Struggle
In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Camila Escalante, reporter and founding editor of Kawsachun News to discuss the ongoing presidential campaign in Brazil in the run-up to the presidential election, the regional and class dynamics of support for Workers' Party candidate Lula de Silva, how this election fits into the geopolitics of Latin America as progressive governments continue to see a surge in support, and why criticisms directed at Lula for his so-called lack of revolutionary character do not carry in Brazil.
In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Abayomi Azikiwe, the editor of the Pan-African News Wire to discuss the upcoming COP27 conference to be held in Cairo and how climate change and imperialism impacts the continent of Africa, why the issue of climate change is unlikely to be seriously challenged at the upcoming conference as the US continues to prioritize profit over the planet, and the role of progressive movements in the US as the global political order shifts to multipolarity.
Later in the show, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Dr. Gerald Horne, Moores Professor of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston, and author of dozens of books, including “The Counter-Revolution of 1836: Texas Slavery & Jim Crow and the Roots of US Fascism” to discuss the blowback being endured by European economies as the shockwaves of Russia' special military operation in Ukraine and Europe's response to it contribute to a deepening energy crisis, the success of far-right politician Giorgia Meloni and her Brothers of Italy party in recent parliamentary elections and what that result pretends about the rise of fascism in the US and elsewhere, and why the struggle against fascism must be internationalized.
