The Empire Never Ended

64: John Birch Society pt. 2 - Wait, It Gets Worse!


Listen Later

Boris finishes his two-part study of the John Birch Society. He looks at their organizational structures, "reading rooms", and media game as well as their ludicrous ideology. Reaching 100,000 members in the mid-'60s, the JBS survives well into the common day despite the disappearance of the Soviet Union. Boris also brings Revilo P. Oliver back into the mix, as well as the JBS' current cast of characters and their terrible but predictable take on the Chilean uprising of 2019. Also, General Walker: Texas Fascist, Vietnam and Korean war conspiracy theories, Lee Harvey Oswald, and the Wallace campaign.

This is The Empire Never Ended, the Antifascist Amerikanski-Balkan podcast about (neo) fascist terror, the (deep) state and the alienation, nihilism and desperation produced by the capitalist system. And how to get rid of all that.
