In this insightful discussion, Dr. Steven Hassan and Charles Derber, a renowned sociologist and author, tackle the concept of the "Deep State"-a term popularized by Trump and often linked to conspiracy theories. However, Derber offers a more nuanced view, grounded in history and social science, exploring how a hidden network of power has influenced governments and institutions for decades. This conversation covers the corporate deep state, the military-industrial complex, and unelected officials who hold disproportionate power in shaping policies.
The two also delve into the historical roots of this power structure, examining how it evolved from America’s founding through the influence of wealthy elites and corporations. Derber and Hassan explore how race, caste, and wealth have always played a role in who controls the levers of democracy. They also discuss how current authoritarian and cult-like movements, including Opus Dei and Trump’s political strategy, threaten the balance of democracy.
This episode sheds light on the political and social forces shaping America today, from Project 2025 to the broader historical struggle for true democracy. With references to influential works like C. Wright Mills' Power Elite, this is a must-watch for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the complex forces at play in modern politics.
