Why U.S. Capitalism is a Form of Organized Crime The Socialist Program with Brian Becker

    • Politics

On today's "In the News" roundtable, Brian Becker, Esther Iverem, Nicole Roussell and Walter Smolarek discuss the criminal lengths that capitalists in the United States will go to make a profit, from scamming working class borrowers to extorting tax payers for subsidies and so much more. We’ll also discuss the death of Colin Powell and his legacy, right wing Democrats aiming to block passage of the social spending budget, and recent instances of racist police abuse as the trial of the killers of Ahmaud Arbery opens.
