Video Short: Naomi Klein on End-Times Fascism
“We are in a moment where our elites, whether they admit it or not, do understand that our economic model is at war with life on earth. What unites this kind of strange, Frankenstein coalition that Trump represents where he’s bringing together the richest people in the world who have ever existed with many working-class people. So what binds the vision? They all have given up on this world. They have all bought into an apocalyptical fever. I’ve been in a lot of progressive spaces in recent months where we’ve talked about building these very broad coalitions. I’ve never encountered a potential coalition more broad that the idea of, ‘How about if we believe in this world? How about if we believe in the future?” Because we’re up against people who are actively betting against the future.” — Naomi Klein
