Ricardo VazHOST
When we talk about US-led imperialism in the present context and these predations across the global south, I mean, from Venezuela to Cuba, Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, how do we understand it? Or rather, how would you characterize it today?

Matteo CapassoGUEST

Matteo CapassoGUEST
So I think that when we talk about imperialism, we need to think about the historical transformation that the long durée, the five centuries of Western-led accumulation have seen, have, you know... created in the world with its wars, with the colonial plunder, with the genocides across the Americas and the West Asia.
