But It Might Work For Us

Previously exclusive to Patreon subscribers. The passage from expropriation to exploitation - the seizing of value by force, to its being drawn from nominally freely offered paid labour - is, for Marx, the passage to capitalism. Yet the first of the "exes" never quite goes away. Legendary socialist feminist and Marxist theorist Nancy Fraser joins TPS to discuss how this core insight can offer an overdue reassessment of the left's current canards on the family, race, the environment, and 'the political'. This is a big one!

With the UK left cut out of the Labour Party more than any time in its history, a coalition of left organisations is calling for a new Party of the left to contest the 2024 General Election. Jackson Caines of 'Transform Politics' joins TPS to answer why the left can't just 'stay and fight' and push Keir Starmer to the left, what's wrong with the Green Party, and what to do about the left's blindspots over the petite bourgeoisie, COVID, and Ukraine?

The revival of a mass, discontented and angry feminism with the Women's March and #MeToo seemed to betoken a break from ameliorating liberalism. Seven years on, we must conclude that it has... although not in the way that 'socialist feminists' hoped. Jilly Boyce Kay joins us to discuss today's 'chaos feminism': the new postliberal 'feminists against

The role of Prince Andrew is one of the big 'known unknowns' in the Jeffrey Epstein international sex trafficking and espionage scandal, and Britain has this week taken major steps to keep it unknown. When biographer Andrew Lownie attempted to view correspondence relating to the Prince's controversial trade envoy role, he was told the papers have now been locked until 2065.

Why does it seem there's so much at stake in politics, when neither left, nor right, nor centre appears capable of changing anything about people's lives? Benjamin Studebaker joins James and David to discuss the left-wing case for conscription, the Republican Party primary field, the return of COVID mask mandates, the political outlook of Gen Z, and his new theoretical book on American politics: The Chronic Crisis of American Democracy: The Way Is Shut.

Originally released to the public as a burst of audio podcasts over  Christmas 2022, COVID Critical is a series of interviews with medical and legal professionals, government advisers, epidemiologists and activists, who had opposed elements of the COVID-19 regime. TPS now releases the unedited video of those interviews from our vaults, exclusively for our Patreon subscribers.

Trucker Gord Magill returns to TPS to reflect on the most novel form of resistance thrown out by the COVID-19 pandemic: the Canada Truckers convoy against vaccine mandates. James and Gord discuss Justin Trudeau's invocation of emergency powers against the truckers, the failure of the left and the unions to respond adequately, and the alternative to 'from above' legalistic approaches to COVID overreach that have come to dominate the COVID critical position in recent months. TPS would like to thank Collateral Global for their support for TPS COVID CRITICAL.
