In this podcast episode, read by Nakow Grant-Hayford, we confront the brutal absurdity of the ongoing genocide in Gaza, exploring its deep connections to the shifting global power dynamics between the West and the Global South. Titled "The Second Coming of Trump: The Rise of BRICS and the Decline of Western Hegemony," this episode delves into the return of Donald Trump to the U.S. presidency amidst a world where the West’s imperial dominance is being challenged. As Trump seeks to "Make America Great Again," the world watches as the Global South increasingly rejects Western financial and political control, coalescing around movements like BRICS, which offer an alternative path toward a multipolar world. The episode ties together the horrifying spectacle of the Gaza genocide—an event that highlights the contradictions at the heart of Western power—and the rise of BRICS as a force that challenges the very system of exploitation and oppression perpetuated by Western hegemony. With leaders like Dilma Rousseff at the helm of the New Development Bank, the world is shifting, and the growing influence of BRICS is reshaping the future of global cooperation, justice, and survival. Join us as we navigate this brutal, absurd moment in history and the forces pushing for a more just and balanced world order.
