Summary

Professor Darrell Hamamoto discusses the "iron law of oligarchy" and how the establishment hijacks and co-opts organic movements and ideas and then produces synthetic heroes (e.g. J.D. Vance). Part of the reformation of oligarchy is to continually identify talent that can be part of the oligarchy. The people who study us know there's grassroots resentment so they concoct limited hangouts. But the iron law of oligarchy is not so iron. He calls his method of counter-politics "smut justice" which means being alert and using discernment to call out false heroes before they gain traction and attacking the fissures in the iron oligarchic system. *Support Geopolitics & Empire: Donate https://geopoliticsandempire.com/donations Consult https://geopoliticsandempire.com/consultation Become a Member https://geopoliticsandempire.com/become-member Become a Sponsor https://geopoliticsandempire.com/sponsors **Visit Our Sponsors Expat Money Show & Summit https://expatmoney.com Nomos Time Bank https://www.nomos.net Borderless Health Insurance http://www.borderlesshealthinsurance.com Websites YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnK9x-4e_BBOX5CRP1MBfiQ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/dyhamamoto Twitter https://twitter.com/DrSerizawa Books https://www.amazon.com/Servitors-Empire-Studies-Asian-America/dp/1937584860 About Darrell Y.
