- In this episode Alexander Aviña returns to the show to talk about the current state of US-Mexico border politics in the electoral arena. We'll also get into some of Aviña's work around states or zones of exception, borders, and counterinsurgency as well as state & fascist collaboration and the impact these zones and alignments have had on radical/revolutionary politics in Mexico and the US.
Alexander Aviña is a historian and professor-and the son of undocumented migrants from Michoacán, Mexico whose sacrifices and love made these educational achievements possible. He is currently an Associate Professor of History in the School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies at Arizona State University (ASU). He has taught previously at Florida State University and the University of Southern California. He holds a B.A. in History magna cum laude from Saint Mary’s College of California and a Ph.D. in History from the University of Southern California.
His research focuses on twentieth-century Mexico, with an emphasis on revolutionary movements, the Mexican Left, state violence and terrorism, immigration, and the history of narcotics production and trafficking.

Thank you for the introduction to Alexander, thank you Alexander for your time
Excellent, thank you
To your point regarding the link between Biden's domestic labor policy and imperial strategy, I suggest a detailed analysis, written by Grey Anderson and published in New Left Review's Sidecar outlet titled 'Strategies of Denial' (15 June 2023). Anderson details how the Biden admin has tried to slow and reverse imperial decline via initiatives such as the CHIPS Act.
That’s because the right is short term capital interests and left is long term capital interests that clean up the messes. That’s just typical

Can I be adopted by Professor Aviña?

@Guerrero I was recommending PaulCockshott's newest vid about reindustrialization and its policies in US/UK/EU
Hi .. At 24:00 Aviña mentions Frontex. Now Frontex exists in Spain, on the mediterranean coast, yet not see and watch some ships sink. That is pure exaggeration. Yet for a fact, Frontex works with Policia Nacional, to provide certain basic rights to every migrant who comes under their net, such as translator, medical help, psychiatric assistance and the option to ask for Asylum, from the Spanish state following a set of EU laws. This is not a justification of the European Fortress, but just so we are clear, a large majority of latinos and latinas are most welcome to Spain, for decades now, totally immersed in Spanish society. It is the wave that is emerging from the other NON Latin parts of the world, that imposes all sorts of problems, that Frontex, Policia Nacional and Madrid cannot deal with. Do not have the capacity to address. As of now as much as 2% of people living in Spain are not legal aliens (with long stay permits). Spain and Portugals borders are far more porous than Mexico America.
