Political repression in the US and Participator Democracy in Venezuela
Does the political repression of the 1950s (McCarthyism) live on today in FISA and the Patriot Act? Ellen Schrecker, who has written widely on the politics of the '50s, will talk with host Laurie Mercier. Can grassroots communities govern themselves? What is “participatory budgeting?” Radical economist Robin Hahnel and the Old Mole's Bill Resnick discuss. That's all on The Old Mole Variety Hour today, along with commentary by Thabiti Lewis and a film review from Denise Morris.
