Alan Woods on the US election – Against the Stream live on Thursday, 3pm GMT

This Thursday at 3pm, Against the Stream podcast will be going live with a very special episode. Just two days after the results of the US election come in, Hamid Alizadeh and Alan Woods from the International Secretariat of the Revolutionary Communist International (RCI) will discuss the implications of these results and what they mean to communists. Alan is the editor of marxist.com, the author of numerous books on Marxist theory and the lead theoretician of the RCI.

This year's election has been one of the most turbulent in US history. It comes amidst rising class contradictions and great instability on the world stage.

Never before has American bourgeois democracy been so discredited, and never has it been so confronted with so many challenges to its position as the world imperialist power. Whatever the results, this election will mark a milestone in the US’s tumble towards further crisis and instability.

A Marxist analysis of this election, and its implications on the already fragile world situation, is of huge importance to communists.

Don’t miss out! This episode will be streaming live on youtube at @AgainsttheStream and @marxistcom
