This 2-part conversation brings together two organisers in Brighton to discuss political education: Jo Taylor from the Solidarity Economy Association and Amy McGourty, a trade unionist and Irish language organiser.

In this episode, we discuss the Kurdish context, including the huge role of political education in the trajectory of the Rojava revolution. We think about the idea of collective self-knowing, and how this differs from the individual identity we are taught to hold. We discuss the rise of far right ideology, and the ways political education can help us understand together the histories we have been cut from. We talk about commitment, comrades, and the need to take time to develop an analysis together, from which we can act.
