Democracy Awakening: Heather Cox Richardson in conversation with Howard Mansfield

[@firebird2]

Thank you for putting this out on KZbin. I try to catch all of Dr. Richardson's presentations in addition to subscribing to her Letters. Each talk has familiar points, but also new insights, new ways of seeing familiar things and new ways of saying important ideas. This video doesn't disappoint. Her combined enthusiasm for independence, individualism and a common interest reaches back to foundational ideas of the US while looking forward to a more inclusive, more democratic government. "They" are not in charge, we are - if we can keep it. Thank you again!

Yes. I was just thinking about how many of Heather's appearances I've watched, noticing that I never tire of listening to her and realizing that I learn something new each time.

She also has a KZbin channel of her name where she posts talks, just her speaking, fairly regularly. She also has a 17-part series of videos on the history of the Republican Party which is amazing and quite enlightening on how we got to the current iteration of that party.

I was not familiar with James H. Hammond and his political beliefs. I did not verify his writings or speeches. My take is he was correct, if the oligarchs do not control the government, "just anybody" could acquire wealth, power or anything an individual seeks. I also believe one of the multitude of ways that societies fail is by excessive, or perhaps simply successful, top down control. The answer to the question of where wealth comes from has not been answered. Wealth does not come from cotton, or control of cotton. I am guessing wealth does not come from a commodity or control of a commodity or any form of extraction.

I’m really dismayed she is wading into geopolitics with poorly informed opinions. she needs to learn more about Cold War strategy, conventional and nuclear deterrents, containment policy, the post war international order. The way to deter wider war, proven over the last 80 yrs, is not to show weakness and reluctance to escalate.
