Republished from the podcast of the RCI "Against the Stream" — With just two weeks before Trump re-enters the White House, the outgoing Democrats are doing everything they can to undermine the next president. In Ukraine in particular, where they fear a drastic change of course in the policy of US imperialism, they are funneling in as much money as they can get away with, as well as escalating the war by allowing Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with US bombs. This clash at the top of the worlds strongest imperialist power has huge consequences for the whole planet. To break it down from a Marxist perspective, as well as to discuss the turbulent political, economic and military situation on all continents, Alan Woods joins Against the Stream for a special episode.

This episode was streamed live on YouTube on Thursday 9th at 3pm GMT.

A discussion on pragmatism with our comrades in NYC. As Trotsky put it, “pragmatism . . . is the greatest curse of American thought. You must inoculate younger comrades against its infection.” This philosophy can creep into our work if we do not consciously fight it with Marxist theory.
