Neofascism or Technofascism?: Monopoly Capital, Counterinsurgency, and Trump 2.0

High Tide, Fractured Empire: Neoliberal Hegemony and Settler Crisis in the 1990s (Race/Class 101, Part 10)
I. The Empire Triumphant—Or So It Thought The 1990s opened with the swagger of a global victor. The Soviet Union had collapsed. China was being groomed into the global market.
