Been patiently awaiting this very episode. I was in the room at an ICOP event in London where Matt gave Chris a copy of the book and Chris invited Matt to be interviewed. It was this event: https://youtu.be/k4lgsyo-3SE?si=czw90oKmzbZWGekn
I’m also currently reading the book! Can’t wait to listen.
Interesting but I watched Quebec go in the opposite direction while I lived in English speaking North America. I was born under the Padlock laws in Quebec
I dreamed of living in a secular humanist liberal democracy where my handicaps didn't overpower my genius.
I am 75 and autistic and I do not share your history. In fact I will quote Voltaire and say "Perception is real in its consequences. I never saw anything heroic in the America Empire except for the heroes filled with food fit only for bacteria and mold. When it was time to retire my wife and I had decisions to make. We had lived for over a decade in Woodlawn Chicago. Surely everyone has heard of Woodlawn it is where Barrack Obama lost a Democratic primary because he is too conservative. The great thing about being me in Woodlawn I don't know who me is. I think I am a homo sapien and hadn't considered there were other races.
My uncle said why don't you return to Montreal . My wife does not speak French. She attended the University of Chicago and our family is in Florida, North Carolina, Maryland and Illinois.
Here in Quebec corporations have the same rights as Charmin only living things have rights and race, gender and religion are not real.
Eugene V Debs was put in prison for speaking the truth. Mark Twain wrote the Gilded Age and Orson Wells starred in Citizen Kane.
Any resemblance between Quebec's secular humanist liberal democracy and English North America's obsession with wealth and power is an accident.
Oligarchy is for Empires like America, India, Russia and China.
Quebec is optimistic about the future.
What is meant by spreading Democracy?
I remember The Maine. It was a war of aggression.
When the USA invaded Mexico and stole Texas they re-established slavery which Mexico abolished in 1828 and they made Roman Catholics second class citizens.
When America entered World War One it was based on Woodrow Wilson's Fascist proclivities. The committee on Public Information taught Josef Goebbels everything he needed to know about propaganda.
There was no discussion of democracy in 1776 it was about sovereignty and right the British gave to Catholics under the Quebec Act of 1774.
We have been in Quebec for almost twenty years and secular humanist liberal democracy is something America should try. Once upon a time you came close but the GOP and the Democrats prevented its success.
Thanks Moe. You don’t know me, you have never read anything i have ever posted except one throw away comment. So ‘way to deduce’....
I’m not american, i love montreal, but i certainly wouldn’t make any claims above 5 eyes Canada being a glowing democracy. Be well, be happy, but I’ll not be engaging with you ever again. Once bitten....
I was at the trucker protest here in town our anti protest Truckers donated their best wishes and funds to buy the votes of our Fascist truckers and pay to get most of our ignorant fascist truckers out of town they are indeed a small fraction of our truckers. Getting those who love to party and upset the neighbours. away for a couple of days was no burden.. We and Eighty five per cent of our truckers support Legault and Trudeau. We got them as far as Quebec City where OUR government told them where to go. Your media likes smoke not substance. The hiways are under provincial control. Trudeau's government controls the border or whatever control your fascist Empire allows.
I like Chris he loves underdog stories. Our truckers are prosperous and often very educated. You are as usual talking out your ass. The trucker protest was organized by America's right wing injustice seekers in California and the still powerful Fred C Koch's John Birch Society that elected Kevin McCarthy and your media jumped to the bone.
You don't understand anything about Canada. Trudeau's job is to keep Canada together he has only the power of persuasion despite our warped paranoid, ignorant and insane neighbours.
In our little town on the hiway truckers sit on town council, the school board and have real democracy and freedom and you. What kind of power do you exercise in your corporate oligarchy?
Fascist Alberta is run out of Dallas and Houston here in Quebec our truckers are middle class because healthcare, education and human welfare are rights not privileges.
There are books about our 15% they are just as looney as your government. We are a secular humanist liberal democracy.
I know American history something they don't teach AMERICAN PEASANTS.
Canada is not America here in Quebec religion is banned in government, in education and we try to teach our great grandchildren real history.
Alberta is run by YOUR BIBLE BELT and men like Abbott and INSANTIS.
I of course I read Twain, Eugene Victor Debs. and Georges Orwell and I am not unfamiliar with Sheldon Wollin.
That phenomen has also been described on marxian political economy tradition as " imperialism on highest level of capitalism" or
" state monopoly capitalism" phases originated intern logic of capitalism where state/governement by forcing powers/institutions and new practicies opered for profit benefit only. Happy to have new angles and observation updated
Absolutely stunning! I hope the book does really well -- people need to know about this. And it explains so much!

Probably the most important interview i’ve heard all year. Book on order. Eternal thanks Chris and Matt.

In 1964 the Ku Klux Klan and Fred C Koch's purchased the GOP and Ronald Reagan for 30 pieces of silver.

In his time for Choosing Speech Ronald Reagan called the 31 years from FDR to the Civil Rights Act America's worst nightmare.

Someone pee in your cornflakes this morning?
This is not the place for reporting or commentary on current events. This is a different thing.
Thank you for sharing.
Have a nice day.
