“I thank God people are in the streets,” said the Harvard philosopher and activist. “Can you imagine this kind of lynching taking place and people are indifferent? People don’t care? People are callous?” --Dr. Cornel West
Dr. Cornel West again tells it powerfully like it is! In doing so, he not only calls out Trump for the Republican neo-fascist thug he is, but also points to the utter betrayal of the Democratic Party Obama years (and its current rejection of Sanders and his democratic socialism in favour of neoliberal Biden), failing to check the voracious scourge of neoliberalism.
On the contrary: Obama fully embraced Wall Street’s militarized neoliberalism. (See ” “Militarized neoliberalism” and the Canadian state in Latin America“ for the Canadian version of militarized neoliberalism. And this is not only in Latin America–besides our fully being intertwined with the American economy, and therefore their worldwide militarized capitalism.)
If anything, Obama and all he stood/stands for is worse than Trump, in that he portrayed himself as a reformer, accepted a Nobel Peace Prize for his “anti-nuclear stance” in full-fledged deceit (authorizing for instance at the end of his presidency 1 trillion dollars for upgrading the American nuclear arsenal), and waged endless imperialist wars for the benefit of the 1% corporations[1] whom he slavishly served–and now reaps handsomely his grovellingly ill-gotten rewards.
