About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of the war on Iran for US imperialism and the lack of a significant anti-war movement despite public sentiment.
Featuring Ben Mabie and Salar Mohandesi on what the war on Iran tells us about US imperialism, and why the US doesn’t have a massive anti-war movement even amid historic anti-war public sentiment. Capitalist states have changed war-making in ways that insulate imperialism against popular resistance. We must make movements that can thrive and win under new conditions.
