Politics Theory Other // Black Lives Matter and racial capitalism w/ Nikhil Pal Singh

June 11, 2020





Nikhil Pal Singh joins me to discuss the massive protests against police violence in the United States that emerged in response to the police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. We talked about why the protests are so large and so diverse and the movement's demands for the abolition or defunding of the police. We also talked about the concept of racial capitalism and how the right might seek to respond to the crisis of neoliberal legitimacy by pursuing policies that would seek to shore up the economic security of white working class Americans whilst doing nothing for black America.
