Chris Hedges goes Marxist at Left Forum

[Matthew Andrews]

This is the text of a talk Chris Hedges gave at the Left Forum in NYC.

I saw him speak last night at the JP Forum (a monthly lecture hosted in
Boston). Here is a youtube video of his talk. I would highly recommend
it!

Hedges is a great critic of the mass media, war, and now capitalism. It
would be great to see him moving in a more radical direction, although
he seems to conflate "regime change" with "revolution."

I plan to read his latest book, Wages of Rebellion, The Moral Imperative
of Revolt to see if he explains his ideas of revolution further.
