Book cover

Tariq Ali’s book Extreme Center discusses various factors which led into Donald Trump and Brexit since 1989 from a British-Pakistani Muslim Marxist perspective.

Islamophobic western imperialism combined with neo-liberalism are inflaming a fascist populism.

Extreme Center points out white supremacist Donald Trump is a leader with both Nazi and Romney's moderate Republican support. Trump's administration oppresses because moderate Republicans didn't reject an extreme leader from white nationalist culture and weltanschauung.

Tariq doesn't believe the working class are Nazis. The working class are exploited and treated with negligence by the same leaders who are committing atrocities with foreign policy.

Tariq Ali believes both Barack and Trump are imperialists.

Tariq contrasts Trump's white supremacy culture with quotes about Barack Obama's social life. Barack is natural in diverse cultures which aren't Nazi. Trump is organically white supremacist.

Tariq is acknowledging people like me prefer Barack because I live in America.

Ali is from Pakistan.

Neither Obama’s nor Trump's government is pleasant for Muslims in other countries.

Muslims are mass murdered whether USA's imperialism is imposed by a white supremacist or a Neo-liberal Obama.

White supremacist Trump pardoned Nazis who committed violent racial violence.

Neo-liberal Obama financed Wall Street's recovery after the Bush recession.

Trump and Obama killed large amount of Muslims in foreign countries.

Imperialism isn't healthy for people who live in Palestine, Iraq, Libya, or Afghanistan.

US and Israeli planes kill people in Muslim countries from a safe distance.

I like Obama.

Tariq offered that Bernie Sanders or Biden were the ideal leader for continuing Obama's progression in 2016.

Barack working in the US government for eight years fatigued everyone on Obama. Our country is the most powerful empire. Barack kept our country in control of the entire globe.

Sanders would've provided the ideological hope needed to maintain a leftist support in the world's most powerful country. Biden knew process.

The name Clinton added two decades of Barack's establishment presence because of Bill Clinton. Biden didn't have both Clinton’s or Bush's baggage.

Tariq Ali discusses Britain's Jeremy Corbyn's movement as an example of effectiveness addressing the needs of people.

Britain's Jeremy Corbyn is similar as the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in the USA because of communication that working class people internalize. Jeremy Corbyn isn't only concerned with the feelings of corporations and the military.

Tariq believes colonialists and economies that serve only the market instead of people aren't good for living beings.

Extreme Center discusses how culture that isn't salubrious for living beings creates xenophobic, racist, and fascist coalitions with moderate political power structures.

DSA and Corbyn are an examples of democratic socialist movements who found audience after the fall of European communism in 1989. DSA and Corbyn are effective despite a shift towards right-wing circular logic because promise of quality of life improvements.
