Nature of the U.S. Military: Carl Dix

This BCR conversation with Carl Dix was recorded at Gebhards Beer Culture Bar on the UWS. Mr. Dix is a leader of the RevCom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity. Our conversation focused on his his experiences with the U.S. military when our country was at war North Vietnam.In a recent email, Mr. Dix wrote me: “My experience with the US military was an important part of what formed my political perspectives … [It] is relevant to what is happening today given that people in the military are being ordered to carry out war crimes and crimes against humanity.”Carl Dix is a co-founder of the Revolutionary Communist Party of the USA. He has worked against police brutality and was part of the campaign to end “Stop and Frisk” in NYC and has protested the Trump administration as a member of Refuse Fascism which works against authoritarianism through mass demonstrations.I asked Mr. Dix about the link between his work now and his experiences of the U.S. military during the war in Vietnam which included a 2-year imprisonment in Leavenworth Penitentiary for registering as a conscientious objector.Alan WinsonBCR Producer and [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
