Danny Haiphong and Roberto Sirvent\u2019s new book, "American Exceptionalism and American Innocence - a People\u2019s History of the United States from the Revolutionary War to the War on Terror" not only exposes this doctrine as myth but also analyzes its impact on the class struggle to develop a world free of U.S. capitalism, war, and white supremacy. Join anti-imperialist activists and journalists in a discussion about the book and its relevance as a tool toward dismantling the actually-existing fake news of U.S. Empire.\n\nPanel sponsored by Black Agenda Report: https://www.blackagendareport.com/\n\nWatch the full livestream: https://youtu.be/AV_IZ1OFKCE\n\nTheme Music: Monolith \nhttps://youtu.be/jRn8ruK-TRA\n\nPlease donate $1/month to support Essential Dissent: https://www.patreon.com/EssentialDissent\n\nFollow Essential Dissent on Twitter to be notified of upcoming livestreams: https://twitter.com/e_Dissent\n\nYouTube:\u202fhttps://tinyurl.com/yxz8ehks\nFacebook:\u202fhttps://tinyurl.com/y64ufjeh\na-Infos Radio Project:\u202fhttps://tinyurl.com/y5k6t4ub\niTunes: https://tinyurl.com/yyq9w8sy
