Orwell said the same thing about western international media's coverage of the Spanish Civil War. The big liberal papers painted it as a struggle between nice milquetoast liberal Democracy and fascism, when it was at least every bit as much a popular revolution against fascism and capitalism simultaneously. (Not to mention a civil war within the civil war, within the left itself, between the bourgeois Republic and its authoritarian stalinist backers, and the militant popular anarchist and trotskyite militias who advocated for immediate collectivization of land and industry) Never trust a British or American paper to paint an adequate picture of another country's revolution
Orwell was literally a stooge of British intelligence who ratted out journalists and activists as “communist sympathizers” 😭 It’s why his stupid books became so popular in western culture. Because they’re useful propaganda against any anti-capitalist or anti-imperialist power that managed to survive and stabilize itself. It’s easy to cry authoritarianism when one is at an ideological dead end and has never had to partake in the process of building power. Anarchists from the 1910s would look at the modern state of organizing and think that it needs a serious overhaul. Those people were far more militant, actually took the effort of organizing labor, and had a political program. But I suppose they didn’t have decades of Cold War and red scare propaganda holding them back. I for one am frightened at the ease of which the extreme right has been building power and influence in western countries all over (and in the case of France recently, the right was handed power by the centrist government to keep the left out!). And their rabid anti-immigrant and Islamaphobic scapegoating is only going to get worse in the coming decades when climate change creates an even greater refugee crisis. So I absolutely don’t want to hear an almost century long grudge about the fucking Spanish Civil War continue to be perpetuated.

I slept in Zuccotti park and spent a night in the custody of NYPD. I remember seeing Mr Hedges there. (He's one of my heroes) long live the revolution!
I am blown away at how Bevins is able to take broad complicated concepts, and distill them down to a sentence or two that drives right to the heart of the issue. Amazing skill.
You have contributed to my life greatly Professor Finkelstein. I am a better man just by knowing who you are. Your words and attitude have given me the courage to have my voice heard. Eternally grateful 🙏
There are lots of nuts holts and screws accessible in a machine no longer working for us, eventually units can be disabled while we figure how to all be doing well evenly again, natural time outs lol.. we can only be beat so many times till it will make us stop working rather than output, in this case it takes eventually seeing a better path to consider taking further steps
The only problem with these three is it doesn't mention what we will evolve to, we can't devolve back to God and we will evolve, what we will take with us is the question, hopefully not more dominance hierarchies with no real goal of making things sustainable.
Hedges really is a mastermind. He’s giving us viewers a guide to a solution. Those of you who feel isolated because of your conditions. You are not! We have a road map thanks to activists like Chomsky, kulinski, Zinn, and Yates-sexton and Hedges! This is gold here folks! Remember, the revolution is a perpetual struggle! It doesn’t stop! Don’t stop! ✊🏼
Just saying I don't think Kyle and Chris are on the same page at all. Kyle still thinks electoral politics can get us somewhere. Hedges has no such delusions.
@user-lo6du8el2u his entire platform is based around policy and who has good vs who has bad policy and why, when he isnt solely focused on Trump and that circle on the far right. It's not information that should be ignored but his goals are far different than Chris's is all I'm saying.
Watched a couple interviews about it, but this is the one I decided I need a copy 😄 I was trying to give similar perspective lectures on these events at parties when we watched them, but I see here a wealth better granular detail
So fabulous a talk! I will get book for sure! And need to listen all the way through again, at least once! Chris, your interviews have brought so very many wonderful political writers, thinkers, speakers and activists to us. What would we do without those fine introductions linking us to your own reading and studied scholarship. Bless you forever. Wishing I could help financially. You deserve such funding as the best elders of your field do too! Free Julian. Take on the fools in power. Peace. -T.
Occupy Wall Street had phenomenal success, at the beginning, but what happened. This is what happened, on every level, in so many different societies. I was significantly involved in OWS in NYC. This is a phenomenal autopsy. Live by horizontal social media... die by horizontal social media.
It's very simple. No movement will live long if it doesn't have a strict organization, a mission statement an objective demands and heavy organization. Good bad or neutral, no movement can exist as an amorphous blob. Nothing gets done that way. And if we think this way we will always lose because the other side will always be more organized than we. So those people really had a lot to learn. Hopefully now they've learned it and we can move on. Power to the people, friends.
Movements don't come together like that especially in the USA where there are so many small outlying factions. We don't have a unifying culture to rally around here. In China for example the communist party was able to unify under the banner of being a more unified China, but they have thousands of years of interaction with each other and no CIA sabotaging them to death. If we tried to unify under one banner, then everyone else not under that banner gets repulsed away and nothing changes. We also have an obsession with moral purity rather than winning the day which only hurts us. The normal person has a defeatist mentality in the USA, that is how we have been programed.
Organization is power. Victory for the people is a choreographed dance around issues of power. Organization yes but this must be in dialectical tension with organization's contradiction in order to produce the third point - victory.

I can't believe they cancelled Chris Hedges show and deleted the last episode with Dennis Kucinich. These are important voices we need to here and it's a shame they're being silenced on this channel!

Fascinating talk. Explained things which I would perhaps have been skeptical about at the outset but laid plausible arguments out - highly recommendable. BTW Chris Hedges is a great asset to this channel!
You can't defend against violence en masse without hierarchical structures. The trick is to create a heirarchy that is decision based only but where ppl can be replaced as seen fit by the people who they are leading.
Testing, testing. Was not able to comment elsewhere on the cancellation. And this is a two weeks ago program b/c RealNews pulled down the Dennis Kucinich interview. Will Bill Fletcher Jr be next?
The leaderless idea for a movement cannot work in real life. The ideal solution would not be to have one leader (we know how that turns out), but a "team" or small group of five to seven people who would work by consensus.
@@Arjava. Or like Switzerland, which has an executive council of seven people. Just one leader always seems to bring egomaniacs and cult of personality.
We had an insightful member during Occupy Detroit. He declared us to be a LEADERFUL organization. So many groups became autonomous and worked together and within themselves quite well. Conflicts happened between personalities, but over-all we knew we were best working together. 💪

Behaviours emerge in groups of animals on one side of the world and after is replicated somewhere else without social media!!! Imagine what could be done !
Can we get the real news network to cover the story on the 215 unmarked graves in mississippi? This is a major story. A lot of people and families are greatly affected by the revelation and atrocities of the law enforcement in mississippi...
Very good interview, great insights. The whole time listening the Occupy Wall Street movement and subsequent movements come to mind. He is so right media comes on scene and finds the voice to fit their narrative and so steers the movement by selecting its representation unless leadership is established.
I've never heard such intellectual and moral chaos expressed so elegantly. "Someone said "That's a Leninist deviation!" so they exploded the movement!" I admire some of what Chris does but I just cannot fathom how people who are clearly highly intelligent can spend their lives expending so much hot air on abstract concepts that have nothing to do with actual power or justice. Your concepts are not a map or model of anything. God help us
As Chomsky said at the time Occupy was wonderful but they had no way of taking protest to effective policy change. Why do you think the Unions in the UK formed the Labour Party?
It is very critical for a horizontal to be created initially with loud voices, but in the backdrop, and then backstage, there should be a leadership for the protesters to have someone to speak to Power. Today we’re seeing very limited core leaders speaking to Power, even after all the exhausting horizontals that have been demonstrated for instance now on the anti-genocide movement . Core protest leaders must come from power to face power.
I have unsubscribed from The Real News Network. Removing Chris Hedges means I can no longer trust your channel. Whoever made the decision, you totally sold out! Shame on you!
Does exist a similar study about de great mass protests more recent?? Like Friday for Future or the propalestine movements, what could be an estrategy localy or globaly ???
Informative and my mind is blown… by what I’ve heard is difficult to put a note worthy dent in the existing structure… but I’m hopeful that we could…do it! All you have to be is humane and think of others as just that. Communication is key… also Jeffrey Sachs book on Kennedy proves just that..
Loved this interview. The point about not having a plan after protest. The elite have been so smart distracting and dividing. Peace comrades! Let's never give up. Because..."We don't fight fascists to win, we fight bc they're fascists" CH. And..."sucking at something in the beginning leads to success at something" Jake the dog from Adventure Time.
This channel now disgusts me. Cancelling Chris Hedges's show because he criticises Biden. What the hell does the Real News Network stand for? Alvarez, you are a sell out!

Can we get the real news network to cover the story on the 215 unmarked graves in mississippi? This is a major story. A lot of people and families are greatly affected by the revelation and atrocities of the law enforcement in mississippi...
wow!
Very good interview, great insights. The whole time listening the Occupy Wall Street movement and subsequent movements come to mind. He is so right media comes on scene and finds the voice to fit their narrative and so steers the movement by selecting its representation unless leadership is established.
I've never heard such intellectual and moral chaos expressed so elegantly. "Someone said "That's a Leninist deviation!" so they exploded the movement!" I admire some of what Chris does but I just cannot fathom how people who are clearly highly intelligent can spend their lives expending so much hot air on abstract concepts that have nothing to do with actual power or justice. Your concepts are not a map or model of anything. God help us
When he says things like far right I know he's completely compromised
As Chomsky said at the time Occupy was wonderful but they had no way of taking protest to effective policy change. Why do you think the Unions in the UK formed the Labour Party?
I love the video and content but I am always fast forwarding through the intro and your abstract that you provide.
UNSUBSCRIBING BECAUSE YOU CANCELED CHRIS’S SHOW. WHAT AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE…. SO MUCH FOR FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT.
Just unsubscribed from the real news, on account of them firing Chris Hedges.
Your video is a real treasure trove of knowledge and support for beginners. Under your leadership, we are ready to reach the stars!
Shame on "thE rEal NEwS NeTWORk" for cancelling Chris Hedges. I have unsubscribed and am encouraging everyone to do the same!
It is very critical for a horizontal to be created initially with loud voices, but in the backdrop, and then backstage, there should be a leadership for the protesters to have someone to speak to Power. Today we’re seeing very limited core leaders speaking to Power, even after all the exhausting horizontals that have been demonstrated for instance now on the anti-genocide movement . Core protest leaders must come from power to face power.
This channel is useless without Hedges
Interesting- thank you
identity politics killed occupy
I have unsubscribed from The Real News Network. Removing Chris Hedges means I can no longer trust your channel. Whoever made the decision, you totally sold out! Shame on you!
Movements not a failure. It continues.
Sorry real news network, i only watch for Chris hedges so ☮️
Don't forget about the failed coup in Turkey
Unsubscribed over Chris Hedges firing
Did he say the execution of George Floyd?
I UNSUBSCRIBED & I encourage others to do so. REMOVING HEDGES is not acceptable.
To answer your initial 3 questions
1 not enough fire
2 not enough fire
3 more fire
Very disappointing you've canceled Chris Hedges, apparently in the sleaziest way possible.
When rich babies can’t get what they want they lash out. Chris Hedges out here doing the real work. Lol unsubscribed.
Does exist a similar study about de great mass protests more recent??
Like Friday for Future or the propalestine movements, what could be an estrategy localy or globaly ???
Ive not read his book. But have there been a post-mortem analysis of the recent chilean popular movement that arguably deflated?
Informative and my mind is blown… by what I’ve heard is difficult to put a note worthy dent in the existing structure… but I’m hopeful that we could…do it! All you have to be is humane and think of others as just that. Communication is key… also Jeffrey Sachs book on Kennedy proves just that..
Loved this interview. The point about not having a plan after protest. The elite have been so smart distracting and dividing. Peace comrades! Let's never give up. Because..."We don't fight fascists to win, we fight bc they're fascists" CH. And..."sucking at something in the beginning leads to success at something" Jake the dog from Adventure Time.
This will be the last video I watch on your network. Censorship knows no bounds and I refuse to participate
You have lost your soul by letting Chris Hedges go. unsubscribed
I am un-subscribing from the Real News because they've fired Chris Hedges.
It came to me, watching that damn BLM [show] that that type of outward emotional 'protesting' was going nowhere and old.
I am unsubscribing from this channel after they fired Chris Hedges. Shame on you! Not REAL news!
This channel now disgusts me. Cancelling Chris Hedges's show because he criticises Biden. What the hell does the Real News Network stand for? Alvarez, you are a sell out!
