(15 October 2019)
In a truly working people’s gathering on October 15 2019, the desire of the victims of globalization in Britain for immediate exit from the EU was vividly expressed. Takis Fotopoulos took the chance to present the analysis of FNSL (Fronts for National and Social Liberation) / Inclusive Democracy about the stake that Brexit presents within the framework of the New World Order of neoliberal globalization. Together with the legendary leader of the coal miners and historical leader of the Socialist Labour Party (SLP), Arthur Scargill (watch his speech here), they made clear that the only way for the working class and the lower income strata is the way of the “Hard” Brexit and no contract with the EU. While the elites of Britain are unable to administer the thunderous “NO” to the EU that the people voted for, and while “Brexit” had been repeatedly postponed until Boris Johnson agreed with the EU elites a watered down version of it, the SLP public gathering offered an illuminating as well as militant view of reality.

This is a 13-part video interview with T. Fotopoulos on the rise of the neoliberal phase of modernity (mid 70s - now) and the consequent emergence of neoliberal globalization, which was established formally in UK with the rise of Thatcherism and in US with the rise of Reaganomics, although the systemic structural trends for it took off much earlier, with the opening of markets and the huge expansion of multinational corporations.
Takis' interview is set about many aspects of Systemic Violence, both indirect and direct, against the vast majority of people around the world and especially in Britain, which were established or expanded throughout the now-omnipresent neoliberal/social-liberal consensus:
From the (never-ending) war on "terrorism" to the true nature of May '68 and from the Working Class movement to Academic Repression, this is an important 13-part interview for every citizen who would like to know the history and nature of what the Reformist Left and the mass media call just "neoliberal politics", in a simplistic, if not suspicious, way , disorienting people from the crucial fact that, as long as markets remain open and liberalized, governments of countries integrated into the system of the internationalized market economy will have to follow basically the same policies, whether they are conservative, or "socialist", green or fundamentalist.
