This is controlled opposition. Not even remotely close to a reasonable political analysis. An intellectually, dishonest neo liberal podcast. Don’t waste your time.
Doug is a great host, his show is excellent.
The Dig, Jacobin Radio, Confronting Capitalism, now Behind the News—the characterization of Maduro and Bolivarian revolution is no different from corporate media’s distortion, when there are empirical evidence and independent journalism to refute such lies. Replying on the same “experts” further siloed the view.

Disciplined and focused discussion of the left. Much to learn
Really enjoy this podcast overall. Very knowledgeable hosts and guests that bring a valuable mix of socialist perspectives across disciplines: history, economics, political science, labor organizing etc. Appreciate that it also gets beyond theory to questions of building political power to advance a people-focused agenda.
