/470/ Political Reaction to System Failure ft. Tim Pendry


Listen Later

On the world under Trump, and British responses. 

Tim Pendry, author of the Unstable Times substack, as well as an international affairs consultant, talks to Alex H and Lee Jones about the world under Trump II, the massive shifts underway, and his own policy work with the Workers Party of Britain.

  • How has intra-bourgeois struggle shaped the past decades in politics?

  • What is "American imperial nationalism (MAGA)" plus a "real-estate negotiation style"?

  • Who are the winners & losers of a "rational" return to classical great-power, sphere-of-influence politics?

  • Why are the UK's tensions and problems an extreme version of what may soon apply to any ostensible American ally?

  • What is the Workers Party of Britain's pitch and strategy?

  • Are the bulk of British people really "left on economics, right on culture", and how does the WPB try to appeal to workers?

  • What are the practical challenges of building and organising a new party?
