Both speakers discuss the KKK and its connection to the police and the state, the growing repression in American society, the role of corporations, and the limits of reforms. They also discuss global imperialism and the role paramilitary organizations play in re-enforcing the interests of the state. During a question and answer discussion, audience members ask about survivalists, Mormons, death squads in Latin America, white involvement in the anti-imperialist movement, and other topics.
