The End of History - On Hyperimperialism with Vijay Prashad( 0:48:13)       
Episode Information
This episode of The End of History features a recording of one of the sessions from theAotearoa | New Zealand Federation of Socialist Societies conference in Wellington. Hyperimperialism and the Ensnared World by Vijay Prashad. Why, asks renowned Indian historian and journalist Vijay Prashad, is the United States promoting wars and militarism around the world, when the world’s peoples simply want peace and development? Vijay Vijay’s presence at the conference was controversial given that some on the left accuse him of being a ‘tankie’, or someone who supports militant opposition to capitalism and is thereby uncritical of those political actors who challenge capitalism’s champions, for example the People’s Republic of China.
