U.S. EMPIRE COLLAPSING - FOLLOW THE MONEY

The Jimmy Dore Show

"The essence of capitalism is to turn nature into commodities and commodities into capital. The live green earth is transformed into dead gold bricks, with luxury items for the few and toxic slag heaps for the many. The glittering mansion overlooks a vast sprawl of shanty towns, wherein a desperate, demoralized humanity is kept in line with drugs, television, and armed force."

~Professor Michael Parenti

In this segment Jimmy pays tribute to political scholar and author Michael Parenti, using video of Parenti to argue that elites act with conscious intent to preserve wealth and power, and that labeling such claims as “conspiracy theories” is a way to shut down class analysis.

Parenti contended that ordinary people only feel repression when they challenge establishment narratives, while those who comply remain unaware of the “leash” around their necks.

Jimmy also cites Parenti’s critiques of free-market mythology, arguing that unregulated capitalism historically produced exploitation, monopolies, and social harm, and that workers won rights through struggle, not generosity from capital.

Overall, the piece frames the so-called, left vs. right (which both works for the same oligarchs),as a conflict over economic power and wealth concentration. Urging viewers to follow Parenti’s scholarship by recognizing imperialism and corporate dominance as systemic, not accidental.
