Green & Red: Podcasts for Scrappy Radicals The Ruling Class vs. Trump, 2024 Edition . . . and Harris gets right-wing support (G&R 320)
In our latest episode, returning to a theme we discussed frequently in 2020-2021 we talked about the various ruling class forces opposed to Donald Trump's candidacy. America is a right-wing country with no mass organized left resistance, so finding and exploiting fissures in the ruling class is a useful tactic. We discussed the way both candidates, Trump and Harris, take reactionary positions on key issues so there's really no space for a left vision of the future. And making sure that the country stays the way it is, with profound gaps in wealth and poverty and a ruling class more solidly in control than ever, is the main task of the corporate oligarchy. To that end, in our latest episode, we discussed the way the Democrats have embraced GOP politicians, especially the demonic Cheney family. We talked about the various corporate leaders who are endorsing and funding Harris, and military officials who prefer her interventionism to Trump's chaotic uncertainty. Trump is a major destabilizing force and the capitalists understand that Harris is actually a far better steward of their interests than the erratic and addled Trump. So check it out. ----------------------------------------- Outro- "The Dick Song" by the Ministry Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast +Our rad website: https://greenandredpodcast.org/ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/uvrdubcM) Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: https://bit.ly/DonateGandR Our Networks// +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: https://www.laborradionetwork.org/ +We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork +Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/) This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.
