MUELLER, SOCIALISM & THE OHIO NUKE BAILOUT
We’re joined by the great LILA F. GARRETT, long-time host of Pacifica’s Connect the Dots; JOE DEMARE, Ohio green activist; and BOB FITRAKIS of the Freepress.org, long-time author and election protection activist.
We start with Lila and a tough discussion of the Mueller Report and the utter incapability of the corporate Democrats to rally toward saving our democracy. A long-time Mueller critic, Lila makes it clear that defeating fascism in our country will take tremendous organizing and stamina.
Joe takes us through the horrendous bailout now being perpetrated in Ohio by the owners of the Perry and Davis-Besse nuclear reactors, both on the brink of economic ruin, both capable of utterly destroying the entire Great Lakes region.
Bob, a long-time socialist scholar, explains the roots of much of the modern conflict between national socialism/monopoly capitalism and democratic socialism or social democracy.
This is a fascinating, nuanced discussion of some of the most critical issues of our time. Don’t miss it.
