Various ruling class factions, including the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have coalesced against Trump and the fascist-led insurrection against Congress. What comes next?

On this week's episode of The Socialist Program's regular segment "Capitalism in Crisis" with Prof. Richard Wolff, we discuss the role played by economic factors in the growth of fascist movements. Brian and Prof. Wolff discuss how the core features of capitalism provide fascism with an opportunity to rise and take power.

On today's In the News roundtable, Brian Becker, Nicole Roussell, Esther Iverem and Walter Smolarek discuss the rising tide of the fascist movement in the United States amid the pro-Trump mob's seizure of the Capitol Building, what may come next as Trump's term comes to a close, and how the people can organize and fight back.

Donald Trump forfeited all support from establishment forces when he incited a fascist assault against the sitting U.S. Congress. Was there police and military collusion that allowed fascist forces to quickly seize control of the Capitol building?

Brian speaks with Prof. Richard Wolff about Marx and the Marxist analysis of the fundamental features of capitalism. Marx's assessment of the laws of capitalism were written more than 150 years ago, but they are spot on in their description of modern day capitalism and explain why millions of people are turning toward socialism with a renewed interest in Marx.

Richard Wolff is the co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work and the author of many books, the latest being "The System is the Sickness: When Capitalism Fails to Save Us from Pandemics or Itself."

Is Trump trying to incite a fascist-type insurrection or simply hold control over the Republican Party -- or both? Is there a new danger of a U.S. war with Iran? Julian Assange had a major court victory...and more, on this episode of In The News.

Why does the capitalist economy lurch into a recession every few years with massive unemployment and job losses? Why is the debate between the millionaires in Congress only about whether working families should get $600 or $2,000 in a one-time payment when the banks and corporations already received trillions in subsidies and loan guarantees?

Covid-19 failures, 60 million lose their jobs, growing hunger in the richest country in the world, 40 million facing imminent evictions and rampant police violence against Black and Brown people -- 2020 revealed the crises and failures of US capitalism.

Professor Richard Wolff dissects the new "stimulus package" and exposes the mind-blowing cruelty and greed of the capitalist class and the political agents in Congress.

Congress decides to throw tens of millions of working people under the bus with the new so-called stimulus package. Will Joe Biden bring the United States back into the Iran nuclear arms deal? FBI and federal police shoot and kill in DC without any account.
