The NY Times recently published an essay titled "When Did Liberals Become So Comfortable with War?" This is a conventional media trope--that the Democrats were not a party of war but have pivoted toward that position. In this episode Scott and Bob go into detail about how wrong this idea is! The Democrats, the Liberals, since the days of Woodrow Wilson have been aggressive and warlike. In search of global markets and investment, cheap labor and resources, liberalism demanded International reach, with bankers and eventually soldiers spanning the globe to expand American power . . . all part of the core Liberal ideology. ---------------------------------- Outro- "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/uvrdubcM) +NEW: Follow us on Substack (https://greenandredpodcast.substack.com) +NEW: Follow us on Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/podcastgreenred.bsky.social) Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ Our Networks// +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ +We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork +Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/) This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

Green & Red Podcast is introducing a new series . . . The Battle of Seattle at 25! On November 30th 1999, protestors shut down the WTO meeting in Seattle and put the world on notice that the forces of globalization--the international ruling class of bankers, industrialists, politicians and others--would be met with force as they reshaped the world economy and caused more precarity and hardship. In this, our pilot episode, Bob offers a brief backgrounder on the way the global economy was transformed from World War II to the present, including discussions of the Bretton Woods System (pictured on the graphic), which created the IMF and World Bank, other trade agreements, financial issues like the "gold crisis" and the Nixon Shocks, and of course the development and meaning of NAFTA and the WTO. -------------------------------------- Outro- "Call It Democracy" by Bruce Cockburn Links// + WTO Shutdown Organizers History Project (https://www.shutdownwto20.org/) Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/uvrdubcM) +NEW: Follow us on Substack (https://greenandredpodcast.substack.com) +NEW: Follow us on Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/podcastgreenred.bsky.social) Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ Our Networks// +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ +We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork +Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/) This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.
