Episode notes

The interconnectedness between settler colonialism in Canada and Palestine, as well as the connections between attacks on Black Lives Matter and mass repression of Palestinians through militarized policing and incarceration, are highlighted. The speaker emphasizes the existence of multiple stories, one of which sees the Holocaust as an exceptional event while the other reckons with how Hitler had learned from settler colonialism and turned colonialism inward in Europe.

Paris Marx is joined by Naomi Klein to discuss the problems with personal branding pushed social media, how the left’s insufficient response to the pandemic created an opening for the right, and the fight over the roots of Western society that will shape our future.

Naomi Klein is an award-winning journalist, New York Times bestselling author, and a columnist with The Guardian. She is the founding co-director of the UBC Centre for Climate Justice and Professor of Climate Justice at the University of British Columbia. Her newest book is Doppelganger: A Trip Into the Mirror World.
