In These Times

Elizabeth Cohen was interviewed for the In These Times article, "How the Red Scare Shaped the Artificial Distinction Between Migrants and Refugees." "Capitalist liberal democracies don't have commitments to social rights like welfare, healthcare and housing,” says Cohen. "For them, the government is there to protect mostly negative political and civil rights, like the right to sell your labor on the open market. They don't deal with redistribution." 02/06/18
