How Capitalism Killed The Middle Class w/Dan McCrory

How Capitalism Killed The Middle Class w/Dan McCrory

If we stop using the “S” word, will more people embrace socialist ideals?

Sean’s Monologue: The Neoliberal-Fascism Connection

In this episode, Sean interviews Dan McCrory, an author of extraordinary diversity and depth. Dan has published books in many genres, but today we focus on his powerful work of non-fiction: Capitalism Killed the Middle Class, which tells the story of how corporate greed has dismantled the middle class in America.

Drawing on his long history of labor activism, Dan talks about the pros and cons of breaking up monopolies and 1980’s strategies for successful management of unions. He and Sean touch on Reagan’s theory of trickle-down economics, the evils of the American Legislative Exchange Council, the Powell Memorandum, and how to navigate the threat of AI to our work force.

Dan explains how the Green Party clashes with labor issues, discusses “Right to Work” trends, and talks about fusion voting and 5-time presidential candidate Eugene Debs. He tells us how large companies avoid paying taxes, gives us examples of fascism around the world, and addresses the question, why wasn’t Trump more prepared for Biden to leave the race?

Sean and Dan go on to discuss the caste system in America, how our Social Security system is designed to benefit the rich, the militarization of US police forces, and predatory lending schemes. Dan leaves us with a prescription to “Buy local, buy American, buy union, and exercise your right to vote.”
