THIS IS REVOLUTION>podcast Ep. 140: Drug War for Empire w/ C. Derick Varn

With Trump out of office, talk of the Border Wall Construction has stopped for the time being. But does that mean that the United States stance on its Drug Policy and has Mexico changed? How has the war on Leftist movements in Latin America created some of the most violent paramilitary drug cartels in recent history? Has the never-ending ‘War on Drugs’, and NAFTA helped fuel an influx of refugees from the cartel atrocities and industry destroying trade agreements?   Can the Austerity administration and “Hugs not Bullets” strategy of Mexico’s current president Manuel Lopez Obrador be the answer to a country awash in corruption and violence?   We’ll ask these questions and more with Host of Zero Books “Pop the Left” and “Varn Vlog”, C. Derrick Varn.
