Big Oil's War Against the World!

<p>Today we continue a series of discussions about the basics of Marxism — &nbsp;a method for understanding and changing the world used by many of the &nbsp;great revolutionaries of modern history. Brian and Prof. Wolff&nbsp;discuss &nbsp;how oil is essential to the functioning &nbsp;of the global capitalist economy. They cover how capitalists have &nbsp;ferociously competed over the years to control the world's supply of oil &nbsp;at the cost of countless lives.</p> <p>Richard &nbsp;Wolff is the co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work and the &nbsp;author of many books, the &nbsp;latest being “The Sickness is the System: When Capitalism Fails to Save &nbsp;Us from Pandemics or Itself”.
