Esty Dinur interviewed Jeffrey St. Clair, editor of the newly released book “Hopeless: Barack Obama and the Politics of Illusion.”

“Hopeless is a view of Obama’s policies from the trenches: the compromises, the backstabbing, the same old imperial ambitions… As Emma Goldman famously quipped, “If voting changed anything, they’d make it illegal.” Let this book stand as a painful reminder to those who think anything less than social struggle will net tangible gain.”
