| Corbyn, Labour & UK election; Chile's Mass Protests
|
Tariq Ali on Corbyn, Labour and the Election. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and if the Conservatives have their way, the campaign will focus on Brexit, which has sucked the air out of politics and worse, has divided the working class and the left without addressing what led people to vote to leave in the first place. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has made his campaign about reversing the decades long night of austerity and the need to commit £400bn of investment to the twin crises of the climate emergency and social deprivation.
Pablo Abufom on the continuing mass protests, now for the 3rd week. At least 30 are dead, hundreds wounded (many blinded by rubber bullets) and thousands detained. Pablo Abufom Silva, in Santiago, says the demands now are for the end of the Pinera government, a new Constituent Assembly and a new constitution – and, a new system.

| Israeli election standoff; Wall Street Dems fear Warren
|
Yoav Peled explains the second Israeli election that took place September 17th. It didn’t go according to plan, at least for Likud Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. Benny Gantz of Blue and White got 33 seats to Netanyahu’s 32, so everything now is about forming a governing coalition to get the 61 needed seats out of 120 to rule. Secular far right nationalist Avigdor Lieberman has refused to form a coalition with Netanyahu (unless he can be acting PM) and Netanyahu needs the immunity granted to the PM from the indictments he faces. We ask Yoav Peled to explain the election results and what will happen if Netanyahu can’t form a government. We also get Yoav's understanding of the ascendancy of the Israeli right.
Michael Hiltzik on his latest LA Times column, "The Democrats’ Wall Street wing hates Elizabeth Warren. They hated the New Deal too," that looks at the Wall Street donors to the Democratic Party (represented by the DLC) who are threatening to leave, sit out, or back Donald Trump if Elizabeth Warren is the Democratic Presidential Candidate. Hiltzik delves into some instructive history from the 1930s when the plutocratic wing of the Democratic Party were so opposed to the New Deal that they almost ripped the party apart to kill it. Significantly, the Democratic plutocrats from that era were not successful. We get Hiltzik’s take on the present day Wall Street plutocrats and their animus to Warren now that she is surging -- and what it means for the Democratic Party today, since Warren and Sanders represent a challenge to the whole of the leadership of the Party and the donor class behind them.
