At an age of bullet points and shouting matches; we have dared experimenting with serious analysis to stem the follow of misinformation and indoctrination. Meanwhile, there is no harm in spreading solidarity, love and kindness, while painting the world with all shades of color from blue, green and red- so that humanity is not reduced to the dual wretched of binary and apathy.

What defines global capitalism today? Are we moving into a new age of techno-feudalism, or is monopoly capitalism still the dominant force? In this in-depth interview, John Bellamy Foster, editor of Monthly Review and leading Marxist thinker, joins India & Global Left to unpack the core structure of global capitalism, imperialism, and the new global economic order. Foster challenges the popular idea of “techno-feudalism,” arguing that capitalism—not technology—still drives exploitation and inequality. He explains why this narrative often reflects social democratic illusions about technology, welfare states, and the role of the Global South. 🔴🔴🔴 Support Independent media to remain bold: https://patreon.com/IndiaGlobalLeft Link for donation: https://paypal.me/sankymudiar 🔴🔴🔴 Key topics discussed: The structure and logic of monopoly capitalism in the 21st century Why Foster believes MAGA stands against peace, not militarism The ties between MAGA ideologues, billionaires, and U.S. capital The tariff wars and economic nationalism of Trump and Peter Navarro Foster’s take on China’s economic system—state capitalism, market socialism, or something hybrid?
