Jeff Sparrow: Trigger Warnings
Posted on: Mon 15 Oct 2018
We are living in heady times. Democracies which once felt robust now seem hollow and vulnerable to the influence of right-wing populism. Here in Australia we have seen a rise in the vote for independents and One Nation. While in the United States a man who has a golden elevator somehow presents himself as a champion of the working class.
