  • They've written a book together called End Times Fascism and the Fight for the Living World,

  • which argues that a powerful coalition of tech billionaires, anti-immigration operatives,

  • But rather than prevent its collapse, they want to accelerate it.

  • We call them traitors, but not traitors to nation, not traitors to a flag or a border.

  • But traitors to creation, like traitors to life.

  • Klein has been a prominent voice on the left for decades, writing acclaimed books like The Shock Doctrine,

  • which is about the link between capitalism and crisis.

  • And Taylor is an activist and organizer who co-founded The Debt Collective,

  • a group advocating for debtor's rights that came out of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
