Myth: The End of History (Hyper-Imperialism) w/ Mikaela Nhondo Erskog

In this episode, we explore the myth of "The End of History". The End of History is the idea that Western civilization in the form of capitalism and liberal democracy has solved the question of civilization. This claim was asserted after the fall of the Soviet Union. This belief was that the United States would lead the world into a place of less conflict, less war, and more prosperity. This prediction has severely backfired, especially for the colonized people of the Global South.

We sit down with researcher and organizer Mikaela Nhondo Erskog to discuss the Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research's new study entitled "Hyper-Imperialism: A Dangerous Decadent New Stage." This groundbreaking document demonstrates how the United States has further polarized the world toward destruction and gives a sense of what is to be done to change course.
