A Conversation with Author and Activist Paul Street About Race, Labor, Class, Donald Trump, and Bernie Sanders

Paul Street is the guest on this week’s episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show. This is the first installment of a two part conversation. He is an author, activist, speaker, and policy expert whose work on politics, race, class, labor, neoliberalism, and related topic has been featured by Counterpunch, The New York Times, CNN, Al Jazeera, and the Chicago Tribune among many other outlets.

In this week’s episode of the podcast, Paul and Chauncey talk about Donald Trump’s ascendance and right-wing authoritarianism, white alienation and working class politics, the corporate news media, the populist moment with Trump and Sanders, as well as Ta-Nehisi Coates and the role of the black intelligentsia in this social and political moment.

During this week’s podcast, Chauncey talks about the so-called “alt-right,” and telling the truth about its white supremacist, KKK, neo Nazi, white identity politics. Chauncey also explains how Trump’s “alt-right” base are in reality political sexual deviant exhibitionists. Of course, in this episode of the podcast, Chauncey shares his thoughts on last week’s WWE Summerslam pay-per-view event and Brock Lesnar’s demolishing of Randy Orton and the problem of booking a professional wrestling Superman character who does not (yet) have any kryptonite.
