Once upon a time...right-wing conspiracy theorists warned us about a coming police-state ran by the global elites. They were right... But...ironically, now they're cheering on that same police state. How is this possible??? Branding. We will be slowly rolling out a series of episodes on the subject of revolution and how we can actually make it happen. But first we need to lay out the basic contextual framework of how we got here and why revolution is absolutely necessary for our survival. To help us do this, we're bringing in the professionals. www.instagram.com/dr.williamrobinsonofficial William I. Robinson is an American sociologist and professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, specializing in political economy, globalization, and social theory. He’s widely recognized for his work on global capitalism and transnational class formation. In the 1980s, Robinson worked directly with the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) in Nicaragua during the revolutionary period after they overthrew the Somoza dictatorship in 1979. He was involved in political education, journalism, and solidarity work, helping to support and defend the Sandinista revolution both inside Nicaragua and internationally. His experiences during that time deeply shaped his later academic work on imperialism, social movements, and the global capitalist system. Robinson remains an outspoken advocate for anti-imperialist movements and often draws on his Sandinista-era experiences in his critiques of U.S. foreign policy and neoliberalism. List of William I.
