What the German Elections Show
Richard Wolff on The Socialist Program
The Socialist Program features Richard Wolff analyzing the German elections and the broader political shifts in Europe and the US. Traditional center-left and center-right parties are losing ground, while far-right and far-left forces gain traction. The discussion explores US influence on European politics, economic challenges, and the declining power of Western nations amid the rise of China and Russia. Emphasis is placed on the consequences of prioritizing military dominance over economic stability and the growing potential for social unrest in response to austerity measures and political realignments.
