    He’s an anticommunist LIB who I’ve never heard call for socialism, but he’s still somehow outside the Overton window.

    Hedges is pretty much the only reason I know TRNN exists.

      Hedges is a Christian Socialist, his idea of a Socialist revolution is for a whole lot of martyrs to die lol, very Idealist. I remember he did a panel on Lenin, during a LeftForum panel, with others including Richard Wolff, the majority of Panelist were positive about Lenin and the Russian Revolution, but Hedges was absolutely on Lenin and the Russian Revolution.

      Hedges can be a clown, I first came aware of him during the Occupy movement, he wrote a very lib article about “violence/antifa” destroying the occupy movement. The funniest part of the article was that he equated swearing at cops a form of violence lol.
