Crypto Dystopia or Popular Democracy w/ Hilary Goodfriend & Jorge Cuéllar

Featuring Hilary Goodfriend and Jorge Cuéllar in the final installment of a three-part series on Central America. This episode picks up with Nayib Bukele’s authoritarian crypto enthusiasm in El Salvador; Daniel Ortega’s perversion of Sandinismo’s revolutionary legacy in Nicaragua; anti-mining movements in Panama; Honduras and Guatemala, where popular social movements have elected left presidents to confront entrenched power structures. We conclude by discussing mass migration from the region that’s taken on a mystified form in US politics as the MAGA far right’s principal scapegoat.

Down the Rabbit Hole w/ Naomi Klein

Featuring Naomi Klein on how the pandemic turbocharged a far-right conspiracist politics that’s sweeping into power. This strange new world, however, is a product of an old contradiction: the need to disavow and deny a long history and awful present; the inability to make sense of the extreme violence and oppression that makes everyday Western capitalist society possible. We discuss Klein’s book Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World and her Guardian essay "How Israel has made trauma a weapon of war": theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2024/oct/05/israel-gaza-october-7-memorials Support The Dig at Patreon.com/TheDig Subscribe to Dissent magazine at Dissentmagazine.org/subscribe Buy Rosa Luxemburg at Haymarketbooks.com

Great topics guests and hosting

Jjjhoyt

So, a new listener may or may make it past the host’s introduction to each episode, but once you get to the actual show (about 5-6 mins in) the quality and topicality of the discussion and guests are excellent. Dan gets amazing people on and guides the discussion with a light hand. It’s academicish but not elitist and is so unlike many other leftist podcasts that sound like a bong might be stashed somewhere in the room. Nothing really against that but the subjects deserve better and this is different in the best way.
