Chris Hedges: The Truth About Trump They Won't Tell You | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines an insightful article by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges on Truthdig titled "Trump: Symptom, Not Disease". Graham discusses Hedges' analysis of the four-decade-long corporate coup of America—detailing how the corporate state systematically took over the press, courts, universities, and both major political parties. He explores the historical roots of our descent into despotism, the dangers of corporate propaganda, the manufacturing of consent, and why true progressives must reject corporate complacency and build an authentic anti-war, pro-working-class movement.
