While American media incessantly pushes the false narrative that socialist elections are a sham, the people of Venezuela showed up last weekend at the voting booths and made their voices clear, with the United Socialist Party (PSUV) sweeping the elections and regaining control of the National Assembly.⁣

Meanwhile, back at home, President Trump is doing everything he can to make sure he and his corrupt cabinet members and allies get away with their capitalist crimes scott-free and is pushing for dozens of pardons before he leaves office. ⁣

Joining us tonight is Zoe Pepper-Cunningham of People's Dispatch for a dynamic roundtable discussion on the Venezuela elections and what to expect for the future both in Latin America and back at home. ⁣

Joining us to discuss these questions and more is Brian Becker, host of "The Socialist Program" and Anoa Changa, journalist and host of "The Way with Anoa"

Fascist Insurrection at the Capitol

They didn't; they were in paralysis about how to handle this mob of fascists because some of them were actively colluding with the insurrectionists. The WFB team talks about how economic instability and misogyny has served as a gateway to the rise of fascism in the US, and why women must fight back!
