Oats for Breakfast, in collaboration with Jamhoor.org, hosts a discussion about South Asia. We chat about Hindutva and the closing off of space for dissent in India, some of the seemingly-parallel trends currently underway in Pakistan, the contradictions of minority nationalism, as well as a whole lot else.

We continue our discussion with Sam Gindin. This time we chat about how the Left should engage with the working class, what socialism means, and the linkages that can be made between the environmental movement and the workers' movement.

We sit down to chat with Sam Gindin, former director of research for the Canadian Auto Workers, about how he came to find himself on the Left as well as about the developments that he has witnessed and participated in since then. The discussion spans from Sam's memories of growing up in Winnipeg to his reflections on Syriza and Corbyn.

Oats continues the dicussion about Jagmeet Singh's 'Love & Courage.' In this segment, while digging deeper into Singh's book, we try to take stock of his recent condemnation of the pro-Palestine movement, we compare him with Bernie Sanders, and chat about the challenges involved in pushing the NDP to the Left.

Oats hosts a critical discussion about Jagmeet Singh's book, 'Love & Courage: My Story of Family, Resilience, and Overcoming the Unexpected.' (We're not trying to mean — we promise! We're just trying to understand why it is that the NDP remains committed to centrism, even while the electoral Left in the US and elsewhere is going through a resurgence.)

We sit down to chat about the coronavirus outbreak, its social and cultural implications, and we use the opportunity to highlight some aspects of the Chinese state — especially the capacity of the central state to retain legitimacy even when Chinese citizens lose trust in local and regional layers of the state.
