No one loved them more passionately than the classical fascists

Now right wing forces have risen to the surface some professing to have the solution

Welcome to the dig a podcast from Jacobin magazine

My name is Daniel Denver and I'm broadcasting from Providence, Rhode Island

Biden did something good. He pulled US troops out of Afghanistan

Finally ending the longest of America's forever wars just under 20 years after it began

There are no doubt fair criticisms whether of the US handling of Afghan refugees or the fact that a US drone strike

incinerated an Afghan family in what was purportedly a strike on ISIS

But make no mistake what we are seeing the past few weeks in the US media is in nearly wall-to-wall echo chamber attacking Biden for ending the war

Pretending without offering real evidence that the US losing a war can somehow look like the US winning it

That's what I'm discussing today with Adam Johnson and Eric Levitts that and a lot more
