In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Jeb Sprague, a research associate at the University of Cali Riverside and author of “Globalizing the Caribbean: Political Economy, Social Change, and the Transnational Capitalist Class,” to talk about the news that the top court in Guyana has halted the release of its presidential election results amid fraud allegations, which regional dynamics play into Guyana's ongoing political instability, why the next political party to take charge of the country's bourgeois democracy is likely to control a serious windfall of oil profits from extraction by transnational companies like Exxon, and how NATO powers are exploiting the recent trend of integration of Global South economies into the global market to isolate, undermine, and destabilize Venezuela and its regional allies.
