How “Shock Therapy” Capitalism Devastated Russia and Gave Us Putin (Stay At Home #7)
updated
But the biggest change is the one we talk about the least: the privatization of war. From Yemen to Sudan, Syria to Nigeria, tens of thousands of guns for hire now fight on behalf of foreign powers.
For Episode 7 of “The International,” a world-spanning video series brought to you by Jacobin and the @ProgIntl, Rania Khalek of @BreakThroughNews tells the story of how we got here. It is the tale of an infamous US firm known as Blackwater and the rise of the secret mercenary armies that have pushed warfare into the shadows.

Today, the Soviet Union is gone, the United States is dominant, and Germany is de-industrializing. Has NATO achieved its goals? If so, why does it still exist? And why did Fidel Castro call it “the most perfidious instrument of repression known to mankind”?
For Episode 6 of “The International,” a world-spanning video series brought to you by Jacobin and the @ProgIntl, journalist Abby Martin examines NATO’s global footprint and explains why this “defensive alliance” might end up causing World War III.

In practice, its rules are set to benefit powerful nations like the United States.
Over the last 75 years, the United States has rigged the global economy to guarantee its dominance. In a secret conversation recorded in the Oval Office in 1974, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger described this project in striking detail: “The trick is to use economics to build a world political structure.”
In Episode #5 of “The International,” a world-spanning video series brought to you by Jacobin and the @ProgIntl, David Adler (co-General Coordinator of the Progressive International) tells the story of the US plot for global economic supremacy in four simple chapters.

But against the odds, Cuba has developed a revolutionary model of scientific innovation and medical provision that has not only ensured universal health care for its own citizens, but also — through its world-renowned medical brigades — delivered high-quality care to millions of people across the Global South free of charge.
For Episode #4 of “The International,” a world-spanning video series brought to you by Jacobin and the @ProgIntl , Dr. Samira M. Addrey — a graduate of Cuba's Latin American School of Medicine — tells the story of Cuba’s socialist health care model that the US government desperately does not want you to know.

Economic sanctions have become a favorite US foreign policy tool to confront its adversaries and punish so-called “bad actors” around the world. The US government will say that they are an alternative to war — a targeted measure to take out bad guys without firing a bullet.
But the hidden history of economic sanctions shows that they can be more lethal than any gun, gas, or megaton bomb — a weapon, in the words of US President Woodrow Wilson, “more tremendous than war.”
For Episode #3, Dr. Ammar Ali Jan uncovers that history — and explains how this tremendous weapon actually works.

For centuries, Latin America was the property of foreign powers. But today, left-wing governments in countries like Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil are consolidating power in pursuit of regional sovereignty.
In Episode #2 of “The International,” a world-spanning video series brought to you by Jacobin and the @ProgIntl, we join Ecuador’s former Foreign Minister Guillaume Long for a tour of Latin America’s “Pink Tide” and a front-row analysis of the region’s geopolitical prospects in a multipolar world.

75 years ago, the Palestinian people were violently dispossessed from their land in what they call the Nakba, the Arabic word for “catastrophe.”
But the Nakba isn’t over. For episode 1, we travel to Ramallah to hear from Dr. Yara Hawari on the past, present, and future of Zionist settler colonialism — and the struggle of the Palestinian people for freedom and justice.
