J-Moufawad Paul returns to Rev Left Radio, this time to discuss his book "Austerity Apparatus". Topics include: Fascism as capitalism-in-crisis, accelerationism and its misconceptions about contradictions, bourgeois philosophers John Stuart Mill and Thomas Hobbes, the Vanguard Party as a partisan war machine, the inevitable next recession, and much more!
