Leadership Lessons from Bill Clinton

Editors of Current Affairs recently took Hillary Clinton's "MasterClass" and had a deeply unpleasant time. But Bill Clinton, too, has a MasterClass, and as public interest journalists committed to understanding and explaining the political world, we felt obligated to take this one, too. To save you the $180 MasterClass fee, we tell you everything you'll learn from Bill Clinton's "Inclusive Leadership" lessons, including:

- How to associate yourself with the legacy of Nelson Mandela and other great civil rights leaders

- How to discuss your record as a politician without mentioning anything you actually did, like gutting welfare and speeding up the death penalty

- How to charm people while saying absolutely nothing

- How to champion "inclusivity" without advocating anything that could fundamentally challenge the existing social hierarchy

- How to produce a glossy course syllabus containing very little other than photos of yourself and your pets

Bill Clinton is genuinely a master of the art of bullshitting people, a skilled and charismatic manipulator. In this episode we discuss how he does it and why the kind of politics he exemplifies need to be rejected and destroyed.

To give you your own "coursepack" for this MasterClass, we're offering our Patrons a FREE digital copy of Nathan's book Superpredator: Bill Clinton's Use and Abuse of Black America, which gives an extremely thorough examination of his record and exposes all of the awful policies he continues to conceal and/or lie about. (See attached.) Print copies of Superpredator can be purchased on Amazon.
