Ep. 20: The Half Baked Politics of Half Measures (feat. Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor)

The failures of liberal half measures, compromise and "third way" politics has opened the door for right-wing demagogues to take power. It has also re-awakened a militant and energized left to combat both the wackadoodle right and the tepid center. We're seeing this play out in American politics and the 2020 Democratic primary. Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor is a scholar, author and activist. Her writing and speaking has incisively and ferociously exposed the failures of capitalism and the necessity of a fierce struggle to overcome it. She joins Michael to discuss how the hell we got here and how we liberate ourselves. ********** "Five Years Later, Do Black Lives Matter?" https://jacobinmag.com/2019/09/black-lives-matter-laquan-mcdonald-mike-brown-eric-garner "How Real Estate Segregated America" https://www.dissentmagazine.org/article/how-real-estate-segregated-america-fair-housing-act-race Read about and order Keeanga's books here: http://www.keeangataylor.com/books.html Follow Keeanga on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/KeeangaYamahtta ******************** Subscribe to “RUMBLE with Michael Moore” on: Apple apple.co/rumble Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5KubucWBfyJr14bD7xWBvS Google: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8xMGZjOWEzMC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw== Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/michael-moore-4/rumble-with-michael-moore Anchor: https://anchor.fm/rumble-with-michael-moore Follow Michael on: Twitter: https://twitter.com/MMFlint Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mmflint/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelfmoore/ ********************
