Soberanía 72: AMLO Succeeds Where Neoliberalism Failed
Poverty is down…and opposition justifications are up. In the latest episode of Soberanía – following the introduction of Jose Luis’ new toy – our intrepid hosts discuss the remarkable findings from the INEGI’s 2024 Multidimensional Poverty Report: 13.4 million Mexicans exited poverty under AMLO’s watch. Even the Guardian was forced to admit it! They further discuss Mexico’s expulsion (not extradition) of 26 capos to the United States in the context of ongoing negotiations over tariffs and security with the Trump administration which Rolling Stone Magazine considers to be “less like a negotiating tactic and more like a mafia-style intimidation campaign.” In that vein, Kurt and José Luis assess the ongoing US military buildup in the region (serious threat or bluff?), and, in Losers and Haters, another piece of right-wing-attack-masquerading-as-left-wing-critique from the NACLA Report.
