On The Socialist Program, Richard Wolff examines how power, race, and capitalism are deeply connected in the U.S., with past legislation still shaping today’s political landscape. Systemic racism and widening economic inequality fuel divisions between races and classes, often exploited for political advantage. Social cohesion is breaking down, and the country shows clear signs of decline as entrenched power structures maintain control. There’s an urgent need to confront these systemic problems head-on, rethink how the economy and politics operate, and push for real structural change to build a more just and equitable society.

Thank you, Richard for pointing out the Weimar liberals like Genocide Joe and so many others who allowed fascism to take place. They planted the seeds for fascism and we are now harvesting the despair.
