Culture and Barbarism in British Capitalism, U.S.-Mexico Relations and Neoliberal Los Angeles
Toby Miller is a Cultural Studies and Global Media Raconteur. Dennis Broe is a journalist, novelist and broadcaster. In our pilot episode we recount Steven Knight's mapping of the cruelty of 19th and 20th century British capitalism, Trump's unfair characterization of Mexico's people's government as a narco state as well as where the guns are coming from that fuel the violence in that country and finally LA as a neoliberal government whose cruelty was exposed in the fires as well as its past and future dislocation dynamics around the Dodgers and Chavez Ravine and the 2028 Olympics.
Novelist and critic Dennis Broe and Cultural Studies and Global Media Raconteur Toby Miller explore The Politics of Culture and The Culture of Politics. Rosa Luxemburg said the choice was between Socialism and Barbarism but perhaps today what we have is Culture And Barbarism.
