I agree with your intro - best show yet. In typical WoC fashion, you gave us a lot to reflect on, for sure. I especially appreciated your discussion about the struggle to find the correct vocabulary to describe Trump and the forces on the right in the US. Naszism and fascism have never felt quite right to me, not because they aren’t the right labels - maybe there are, maybe they are not - but mainly because Americans in the post 20th century don’t know deep in their souls what they mean. As Ivan said, they are not useful as mobilizing forces for our society to act “against”. My husband, who is from Poland, is perplexed by this, but then, he was shaped by the nightmares of his country. Nazis, fascists, Russian dictators haunt his very being. I’d love to see Ivan come back to your show in 6-12 months - which I believe translates to centuries in Lenin-time!
