Geopolitics and Empire is joined by Venezuelan writer Emmanuel Rincon.

Welcome to Geopolitics and Empire, Emmanuel.

Thank you very much for your invitation.

I'm trying to pronounce your name.

It's alright, no problem. I'm used to it.

And, you know, I recently discovered your excellent channel, your commentary, your writing, you're doing a lot of great work.

And it interests me very much as a Croatian, American, Mexican.

And there's a number of listeners as well who are living in Mexico and Spanish-speaking listeners

who are very interested in what you're, what you've been doing and talking about.

And I guess to start maybe, uh, I would start

with the big idea that we are seeing in the Western world, uh, an attack on our freedoms,

uh, and the wave of tyranny coming to our lands. You're seeing American and European governments

shutting down bank accounts of people, online accounts,

you know, the censorship of citizens who think differently. And I think, I believe you have identified

one of the central enemies of the West as, you know, socialism, neo-Marxism cultural Marxism even globalism could you sort of

explain to us what what you what is going on from your perspective you know what's

going on in the Western world and what's the principal cause or enemy I think that

the bigger problem right now is big government I mean it's like, it's like a trend in all the world.

Right now we're seeing people that believe that everything has to be controlled

from the government to the people and not in the other way.

We have like different kind of socialism.

Okay, we live the major catastrophe in Venezuela.
