YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHistorian and author of the new bestseller 'America, América,' Greg Grandin, joins Mehdi Hasan to discuss what the US can learn from Latin America when it comes to fighting fascism, in this episode of ‘Mehdi Unfiltered.’
In his new best-selling book, America, América: A History of the New World, author and Yale University historian Greg Grandin highlights how Latin America has played a critical role in shaping the United States as we know it. And amid the rise of fascism, he argues that Latin America provides valuable lessons on how social democracy can combat right-wing authoritarianism.
In this episode, Grandin explains why the Democratic Party is struggling in providing a united front against Trump’s fascism. “You don’t beat fascists by calling fascists fascist. You beat fascists by offering an alternative and a broad vision of social democracy,” he tells Mehdi.
