Disaster Capitalism: The UN's Two-State Solution is a War on the Transnational Working Class

In this episode, we are joined by Elina Xenophontos as we center Palestine while unpacking a rapidly shifting global landscape. From the UN’s new “Two State Solution” resolution to Israel’s expanding regional ambitions in Syria, Cyprus, and beyond, the conversation dives into how imperial powers continue to use war and crisis as tools for control.

We look closely at the concept of disaster capitalism—first outlined by Naomi Klein in The Shock Doctrine—and how Gaza risks becoming the latest case study, following Iraq, Afghanistan, and Lebanon. Political elites and international institutions routinely exploit chaos, stripping local communities of sovereignty, resources, and the ability to chart their own futures.At the same time, Washington is floating reckless military objectives: threatening Venezuela over oil and rare earths, retaking Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan to pressure China, and destabilizing Pakistan under the guise of nuclear containment.

Meanwhile, Israel appears to be preparing for a long struggle against Turkish interests in West Asia, while U.S. allies like Argentina’s President Javier Milei remain entangled in IMF debt and neoliberal experiments. This episode connects the dots between Palestine, imperial strategy, and the global machinery of resource extraction. If you want to understand how “humanitarian aid” and “reconstruction” are often code words for privatization, dispossession, and permanent war economies, you won’t want to miss this.
