“Are we going to see another version of the shock doctrine? We already are.”
On this week’s show, Grace Blakeley is joined by academic, activist and left legend Naomi Klein to discuss the US elections, the case for the Green New Deal, and whether the world is about to face another lesson in the politics of the shock doctrine.
Naomi has words of encouragement but also a warning for activists – the smears that the establishment used against socialist leaders Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders are “just the smallest taste of how hard they would have fought them if they’d won.”
