Peace or Barbarism! Guest Morgan Spector on Leftist Foreign Policy, Anti-Imperialism, and a Crisis of Capitalism | Ep. 298
Episode 300
Thursday, 16 April, 2026
Why did the US invade Iran? What does it have to do with American imperial decline? Why do oligarchs need the permanent war economy? Why is left populism impossible without an anti-war movement? What should a leftist or progressive foreign policy actually look like? Is AOC an organic intellectual, and what do we need from her foreign policy? Why did Bernie Sanders shift from talking about kleptocracy to talking about oligarchy? What are the prospects for left populism at home and anti-imperialism abroad? And why is political reform still possible in a revolutionary conjuncture? Critically acclaimed actor Morgan Spector joins Dr. Van Jackson in this ambitious, wide-ranging episode of The Un-Diplomatic Podcast.
