Everything out of order-- including converging health, economic and political crises--have the become order of the day in Washington. And how does the legacy of colonialism resonate in the present? For our final F-word segment on fascism for 2020, we speak to Professor Gerald Horne about the 135th anniversary of Berlin Conference and Europe's scramble for Africa's natural resources and labor. Plus headlines including Congress and Covid relief, Proud Boys violence in DC, community control of the police and more..
