DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\n\nThe Rolling Catastrophe of the 
 American Body Politic\n\n
   What have things come to when arch racist 
 Jeff Sessions and deep state spooks are canonized as by self-identified 
 liberals and leftists as bulwarks against fascism? When all mainstream 
 "opposition" politics can be summarized in a single word: Trump. And when 
 the midterm elections ignored deepening impoverishment at home, endless 
 wars abroad, and climate catastrophe – let alone the tax cut for the 
 superrich – instead focusing on the "threat" posed by (take your pick) 
 immigrant workers and the Russians. 
   The majority of eligible voters 
 sat out the midterm spectacle, simply not bothering with politicians awash 
 in ever more obscene tsunamis of corporate cash. Meanwhile, both the 
 economy and the polity have become more concentrated and less democratic 
 with an ever-wealthier elite perched atop of an ever-growing surveillance 
 state, mass incarceration, and censored media on the internet. 
   
 Economist Allan Miller, Green Party congressional candidate Laura Wells, 
 and Peace and Freedom Party central committee member Roger Harris will try 
 to inject reason to the rant, followed by robust questions and commentary.
