Two Recent Interviews
Refuse Fascism Podcast Two days ago and Counterpoint Radio Seven Days Ago
+1. Me and my friends and Refuse Fascism comrades Sam and Mark discussing the Trump fascist regime’s attack on Venezuela a couple days ago:

(I spent this afternoon going through every word of the transcript of the press conference in which the leading imperialist fascists Trump, Hegseth, and Rubio boasted about the US kidnapping of Maduro. Will put up a reflection on that tomorrow, I hope.)
+2. A different interview I did on December 29, 2025: “Trump’s Deadly and Chaotic Year Back in the White House,” WPKN Radio, Interview with Paul Street, independent radical-democratic policy researcher, journalist, historian and author, conducted by Scott Harris: https://btlonline.org/trumps-deadly-and-chaotic-year-back-in-the-white-house/
“Paul Street talks about his recent commentary, ‘Four Pieces in the Fascist & Exterminist Jigsaw Puzzle,’ and his hopes for effective anti-fascist organizing in 2026. Street is an independent radical-democratic policy researcher, journalist, historian and author of more than 10 books. His latest is titled, This Happened Here: Amerikaners, Neoliberals, and the Trumping of America.”


American Exceptionalism is the same thing as Manifest Destiny was. Mass megalomania. Mid-20th century Axis Powers were also subjected to mass megalomania. Atilla the Hun; Napoleonic France; Belgian Congo; etc. We are battling governments that are in thrall to mass megalomania. The only power I can see being of help is a 'smart', relentless general strike. Gens Z and Alpha have nothing to lose but their debt chains.
The people of the United States are sheep. They will never fight back against fascism.
