About this episode

The episode discusses the failures of the anti-imperialist movement and its evolution in the 21st century.

The anti-imperialist movement of the latter half of the 20th century failed as a socialist project, the impulses of nationalism seeming to have little power to defeat international capital and neo-colonialism once these systems gained any subtlety. In the 21st century even the pretense of the anti-imperialist movement being socialist is dropped, and instead socialists tail peripheral and semi peripheral bourgois countries that happen to be on the wrong side of the Evil Empire. Stefan, Quinn and Kuba discuss.
