Part 8/10:
The Fight Against Oligarchy and Authoritarianism
Jones advocates for a collective movement to remake broken systems—those that enable oligarchy and authoritarian tendencies. He calls for embracing a "brave new course" that confronts systemic corruption and inequality head-on, rather than retreating from it.
He underscores that the methods of those in power—such as Donald Trump—are rooted in capitalism and the accumulation of wealth and influence. Therefore, dismantling the system of capitalism itself becomes a necessary step in preventing the rise of future autocrats. This is a provocative and radical idea, implying that political change requires addressing the economic foundations that empower figures like Trump.
