Episode description
Capitalism is in a global economic crisis. The working class everywhere are experiencing falling living standards, and have been for at least a decade. This inevitably has huge political and social effects.
There is a bitter anger brewing deep in society, and these are exploding to the surface in many ways, including in the far-right riots across Britain, and the rise of far-right parties across Europe.
The political polarization is reminiscent of the interwar period of the 1920s and 1930s, where fascism came into existence and even came to power in several instances.
In this episode, Joe Russell, leading member of the RCP, discusses what we can learn from history, and how we can fight fascism today.
