E238 - The Renegade Century w/ Mike Macnair

Sean and Andy are joined by Mike Macnair, member of the Provisional Central Committee of the Communist Party of Great Britain, columnist at Weekly Worker and author of Revolutionary Strategy (2008) and many other works. We discuss the legacy of Marxist political movements of the 19th and 20th centuries, the role of the party, the importance of patience and republicanism to the working class struggle and what might be salvaged from the thought of great historical Marxists including... the renegade Kautsky. This is part I of an extended discussion on theory and history.
