Prof. Wolff talks about the protests sweeping across the US incited by yet another brutal killing of a Black American, George Floyd. He argues that the capitalist system, with its endless drive for profits over people, is the true culprit and failing Americans. The levels of inequality, massive unemployments, and injustices are symptomatic of a system that is in deep trouble. Divide and conquer, or class war is the tactic capitalists are using to distract Americans from uniting against the common enemy: capitalism.
