I can’t think of anyone with keener or more critical insight on today’s world than Chris Hedges and presidential candidate Cornel West. Take a listen to link below. Never will you hear this politic discourse from our two party candidates. This discussion gets down to the nitty gritty of what it means to fight for real change!

Thanks for the vid, Maestro, I've never heard a U.S presidential candidate talking about "he doesn't want to chip at poverty. He wants to eliminate, abolish poverty and homelessness."
West cleary calls for a multiracial alliance of poor and working people against militarism, corporatism, racism, and all other forms of bigotry and oppression. However I do believe that the prominent leader in the civil right movement Martin Luther King, had done this same call way back. He was assassinated in 1968 at the lorraine motel in Memphis, TN.

Thanks Maestro. Yes, Cornel West does a good job of explicating the neoliberal ties to Western imperialism, a space that is not usually critiqued in the corporate media.

And do not miss the awesome ole-school blues song that introduces the interview.. Its by Willie King and called "Terrorized".. The lyrics are soooo appropriate to the discussion which follows.
Again, I like Cornel West but too often he goes into kuumbaya-ism---he even calls the enemy "brother". Wtf?! ACTUALLY, I wish it was Chris Hedges running for president instead---dude is brilliant👏👏!!
Yes, brother Cornel can be a bit sappy at times. If he is to make a legitimate run for the presidency, he has to make some changes in his demeanor, which at times borders on eccentric.
