There was a problem with the audio in episode 423 which has been fixed. If you downloaded the first version you probably couldn't hear Joe properly and this episode 423a is for you. If you are late to the party and downloaded episode 423 after 2:45pm on Tuesday the 9th then you have probably downloaded the better audio which is exactly the same as this episode 423a.

This episode features a conversation with openly genderqueer activist and blogger Nicky Reid. Her particular blend of left-populism provides a unique perspective that crosses the left/right divide and seeks to unify all political groups under the rubric of decentralization of power. The discussion includes a nuanced critique of identity politics that respects its goal of creating a more tolerant society, while criticizing its use of moral authority and its lack of real authenticity. Nicky's work exposes the mechanization of a political empire that oppresses equally, no matter one's sexual identity or skin color, while at the same time advocating for a free and tolerant society that respects all lifestyle choices.

Carl Shoben advised both Tony Blair and Jeremy Corbyn as a pollster and is now leader of strategic communications for the polling firm Survation. We take the second defeat of Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the first round of the French Presidential election as an opportunity to reflect on the end of the 'left populist' electoral experiments of the past decade, what the international Left continues to misunderstand about its defeat, and the prospects for rediscovering our anti-systemic overlaps with the deplorables.

Cam Scott is a poet, musician, and local organizer from Winnipeg, and he's on the show to speak to us about an article he's written. We're talking about the 'freedom convoy' or 'trucker convoy' or whatever you'd like to call it. This conversation is about the difference between populist movements and peoples' movements, and why the left should be cautious when considering the use of populist politics, and why the convoy is not a workers' movement.

It is a great honour and pleasure to welcome for this second episode Prof. Jonas Pontusson who is since 2010 professor of comparative politics at the faculty of Sciences de la Société here at the University of Geneva. He has written extensively on Swedish social democracy, inequality, redistribution, capitalism, trade unions and is currently directing a five year research project on unequal democracies. Alongside Unequal Democracies, Jonas Pontusson is engaged in a project on post-Fordist growth models supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation. In today's conversation we are looking forward to learn more about the just mentioned research project on unequal democracies, the rise of populism, neoliberalism, the fall of the left and the importance of redistribution. We will also dive into Jonas Pontusson's experience in academia, his perception of us students and hear all about why we should not treat University as a 9-to-5 job but an intellectual journey. Enjoy! And do send us any feeback - we're on Instagram @bariscope_ccc. You'll find more informations on his research project via https://unequaldemocracies.unige.ch/en/home/

On the Professional-Managerial Class.    Catherine Liu joins us to talk about the worst class in history (the PMC), and how and why they hoard all forms of secularised value. We discuss the development of the PMC as a class, figure out when it stopped being "heroic", and debate who the PMC'S leader might be. We conclude by asking whether the Left needs the PMC (or vice versa?).    The discussion will continue next week – focusing on recent unionising in professional workplaces, how the PMC brings up its children, and whether the "culture industry" is still a thing – in a subscriber-only episode on our patreon.    Readings: Virtue Hoarders: The Case Against the Professional-Managerial Class, Catherine Liu, University of Minnesota Press, 2021 Moral Minoritarianism from the Ashes of Left Populism, George Hoare, Damage Saving Britain's Universities report, Lee Jones & Phillip Cunliffe, Cieo

In this episode of the Sobremesa podcast, I chat with journalist and political researcher Jorge Tamames about the history and current state of populism in the USA and Spain. Jorge's book 'For The People: Left Populism in Spain and the US' concentrates on left wing populism. Here he explains the conditions that led to the rise in Podemos and Bernie Sanders, and their differences. Later we discuss Podemos inside the government, republicanism, right wing populism and what covid-19 might mean for populism in the future.

Vandaag hebben we een bespreking van een ideologisch antwoord op Chantal Mouffe's Left Populism dat binnen bepaalde cirkels van de SP erg pupolair is. Ellen Meiksins Wood's book The Retreat from Class: A New 'True' Socialism. De versie die we lezen is van Verso en is een herziene editie uit 1998.

Leading political thinker Chantal Mouffe proposes a new way to define left populism today: it is more than an ideology or a political regime. It is a way of doing politics that can take various forms but emerges when one aims at building a new subject of collective action — the people.

On the end of Left Populism.   Friend of the podcast Anton Jäger joins us to discuss the fate of Left Populism, investigate the response of the Left to the ongoing Coronacrisis, and question whether we're really witnessing the end of neoliberalism. We refer to his recent piece in Damage magazine, in the readings below.   Did Left populism ask the right questions but get the wrong answers? Are the next three years going to see the blossoming of the 'Well, Actually' Left?

James Butler is joined by Paolo Gerbaudo, head of the Centre for Digital Culture at King’s, to draw up a balance sheet of left populism over the past five years: its successes, its failures, and what’s yet to come. Plus, a discussion of the politics of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Italian lockdown, and what that […]

In this episode Will speaks to Chris Clarke about his new book Warring Fictions: Left Populism and Its Defining Myths and examines the differences between Left Populism and Left Pluralism, the reason that these myths exists and why they are prevalent in the Labour Party. 

A new decade has dawned.  But following their most devastating election defeat in 80 years, what new dawn awaits the British Labour party? If there’s one thing the Corbyn years will be remembered for it’s the rampant ideological in-fighting between the left and the right of the party, Momentum versus the Blairites, leavers and remainers.   But now with the leadership contest in full swing, and a new successor to be named on the 4th of April, will the party seize the opportunity to elect a leader who can heal the deep divides within the party and end the civil war - and maybe one day win them an election too?Matthew Taylor and Ian Leslie are joined by  journalist Ayesha Hazarika and former Labour insider Chris Clarke who has just published Warring Fictions, a critique of Corbynism and left populism.  Produced by Craig Templeton Smith. 

Back now in the year of our lord 2020, we examine the last decade (-ish, I mean this shit started circa 2008) of Left Populism in Europe and talk about whether this rigamarole has a future or not.HOW TO SUPPORT US:https://www.patreon.com/cornerspaetiHOW TO REACH US:Corner Späti https://twitter.com/cornerspaetiJulia https://twitter.com/YungOctobristsRob https://twitter.com/leninkraftNick https://twitter.com/sternburgpapiCiarán https://twitter.com/CiaranDold

INTERREGNUM EP01 | ยุทธศาสตร์ Left Populism Chantal Mouffe นักคิดชาวเบลเยียมเสนอว่าในช่วงเวลานี้ เป็นช่วงเร่งด่วนอย่างยิ่งที่พวกเราจะต้องเข้าไปช่วงชิง “อำนาจนำ” หรือ “Hegemony” ซึ่งแต่เดิมเป็นของลัทธิเศรษฐกิจแบบเสรีนิยมใหม่หรือ Neoliberalism (ที่นับวันก็ร่วงโรยไปเรื่อยๆ) เพื่อสร้างอำนาจนำชุดใหม่ขึ้นมาที่มีความเป็นประชาธิปไตยมากยิ่งขึ้น แต่การจะทำเช่นนั้นได้ เราก็ต้องมียุทธศาสตร์ ซึ่งตั้งชื่อว่า “Left Populism” หรือ “ยุทธศาสตร์ประชาชนเป็นใหญ่แบบซ้าย” รายละเอียดที่มาที่ไปและอุดมการณ์ความคิด การวิเคราะห์เบื้องหลังและข้อเสนอยุทธศาสตร์นี้คืออะไรบ้าง ลองไปฟังกันดู และหากใครต้องการพูดคุยแลกเปลี่ยน สามารถติดแฮชแท็ก #pokcast ได้เลยครับ

This lecture on Left populism is part of the IF Project’s lecture series, Thinking between the Lines: Truth, Lies and Fiction in an age of populism.   Dr Marina Prentoulis, Senior Lecturer in the School of Politics, Philosophy, Language and Communication Studies at University of East Anglia and a member of Syriza, explores the differences between Left and Right Wing populism. She recognises that Left and Right populism are often seen as two sides of the same coin, and points to What is Populism? by Jan-Werner Müller (one of the best known books on populism) as being an analysis which wrongly conflates left wing and right wing populism, in part because it uses a journalistic rather than a rigorous theoretical approach, focusing on form rather than policy.  For example, Werner contends that “populist claim that they, and only they, represent the people” p. 20 “populists live in a kind of political fantasy world: they imagine an opposition between corrupt elites and a morally pure, homogeneous people” (p. 41) “Populists create a Homogeneous people in whose name they have been speaking all along” (p.48) “…populism is thus a moralized form of anti-pluralism…” (p.20) By contrast, Dr Prentoulis challenges the notion of a 'homogenous people' and argues that it is policy that makes left and right populism very different from one another, with open borders, internationalism and inclusion being fundamental to all forms of left populism, and 'nation' and exclusion being an intrinsic part of all right wing populisms.   Picture:  Occupy London 2011 Global Democracy Now Occupy London Tents in front of St Pauls, London Sunday 16th October 2011 by Neil Cummings

In his brilliant 2014 book Nothing is True and Everything is Possible, Soviet-born TV producer turned journalist Peter Pomerantsev described 21st-century Russia as a political anomaly. He wrote about “a new type of authoritarianism” that waged war on reality by peddling conspiracy theories, disregarding the notion of truth, and framing all political opposition as the enemy of the people. Sound familiar? Upon leaving Russia, Pomerantsev found that the world around him had been infected with the same post-truth disease he had diagnosed in Moscow. The war against reality had spread across the globe, from London and Washington, DC, to Mexico City and Manila, Philippines. All over the place, the same values that had once defined liberal democracy — free speech, pluralism, the open exchange of ideas — were now being used to undermine it. This development became the centerpiece of his dizzying new book This is Not Propaganda, and it is the focal point of our conversation. We discuss: - How information went from being the tool of dissidents to the tool of authoritarians - Why Russia developed modern, post-truth politics first - The tactics that spin doctors and troll farms use to warp our sense of reality - How the end of the Cold War triggered a global descent into relativist chaos - How liberal democratic values like free speech and pluralism are being used to undermine liberal democracy - Why “all politics is now about creating identity” - Whether it is possible to organize the internet democratically - Why the informational chaos of digital politics is much worse outside the US - The worst butchering of a guest’s name in the show’s history And much more. Taking a step back from our current moment, American politics is now dominated by the internal machinations of the post-Soviet political systems Pomerantsev specializes in understanding. To see our politics clearly requires seeing their politics clearly.

Jack interviews PhD student Anton Jäger (@AntonJaegermm on Twitter) about populism in its myriad, and sometimes nebulous, forms: its American origins, the respective populisms of the left, right, and centre, and the liberal discourse around populism, with its invocation of "the people" and its folk devils like Russia and Seumas Milne.

In this episode of my podcast-within-a-podcast, I'm talking about Chantal Mouffe's "For a Left Populism. Why are we constantly told that the status quo — i.e. neoliberal market economics  — is the natural order? What does it mean to be "political," versus "post-political"? And how should the left see itself?

On #NovaraFM James Butler is joined by leading theorist of populism Chantal Mouffe.

Part two of a two-part interview with Aslı Bâli on the Syrian civil war and the larger geopolitical conflicts that shape the Middle East — with an emphasis on the role played the United States. During part one, which you should definitely listen to first, Bâli discussed the various powers sacrificing the lives of Syrian people in the pursuit of their perceived geopolitical and sectarian interests. In this installment, Bâli discusses the restrictive frames that dominates the American discussion over Syria, and then assesses the lack of a coherent heterodox left-wing foreign policy in the United States — something that we desperately need as the possibility of the Left taking power becomes newly plausible.
