When Georgia State Representative Esther Panitch's own home became a canvas for hate, it wasn't a signal to retreat but a clarion call to action. On this episode of the Jack Hopkins Show, I sit down with Panitch as she takes us through her powerful movement against anti-Semitism, sharing the resilience required to transform personal attacks into political triumph. Our discussion doesn't shy away from the complexities of legislation or the intricacies of forming alliances across the aisle in today's divisive political climate.In the very fabric of our nation's history, threads of hate and discrimination are interwoven with stories of courage and unity. This episode isn't just a close examination of the legal twists in high-profile cases like that of Fannie Willis; it's also a testament to the importance of moral compass in leadership. We tackle the uneasy balance of intellectual integrity and the sometimes harsh realities of political authenticity. With Representative Panitch's narrative as a backdrop, we uncover the necessity of remaining steadfast and true in both the public eye and our private endeavors.By the end of our conversation, you'll feel as though you've truly met Esther Panitch—not just as a state representative, but as a beacon of action in a world often paralyzed by fear and silence. We reflect on the strength it takes to voice dissent, the grace found in apologies, and the unyielding necessity for accountability at all levels of governance. Join us for an episode that promises not only a deeper understanding of today's political landscape but also an intimate look at the leaders shaping it.** In the opening Introduction of this episode with Re. Panitch, I mistakenly said "Her grandmother..." I meant to say "Her great-aunt..." Enjoy!Support the show

Leo Panitch died recently of covid complications. A few months ago we discussed two issues which Panitch studied and wrote about for decades. First, whether the pandemic has fundamentally altered the geopolitical balance between the U.S. and other great powers, specifically China. And second, how socialists in the U.S. should approach the November elections. Panitch connected the two issues with his usual depth and historical rigor, qualities not always evident in the left discourse on these questions. He will be deeply missed. Leo Panitch was Professor Emeritus of Politics at York University in Toronto. He was co-editor of the Socialist Register and author of several books, most recently Searching for Socialism: The Project of the Labour New Left from Benn to Corbyn, co-authored with Colin Leys and published by Verso.

A recording from the 7th of April 2020, from the series "The Left Reflects on the Global Pandemic” by transform! Europe There is deeper lesson to be learnt from the pandemic: Even where money was spent on public care systems, it was spent in the spirit of marketisation. As such, the problem becomes not one of spending. Rather, it becomes a problem of the introduction and fostering of competition. In the very first edition of our new podcast series with Transform! Europe, we are proud to present insights by Leo Panitch. In his conversation with Kate Hudson, he goes on to explain further lessons for the left that became evident during the pandemic. Such as, that our basic needs must be provided by a democratic public sector, that Amazon workers, for example, who proved to be so essential during this period, need to be public employees. Our main struggle will have to be that, of meeting people’s basic needs far beyond the Keynesian welfare state, through the provision of public services, through taking key industries, including finance, into the public sector and making them public utilities. And we must do this in a way that democratizes these institutions in the process. On the role of the European Union, Panitch reminds us that the EU is a capitalist project, rooted in the goal of free movement of capital. And the EU is a project in crisis. A crisis rooted in the lack of solidarity and the discipline imposed by some member states over others. Panitch speaks to the need to fight the far right and rising xenophobia, to re-establish the left and working-class institutions, trade unions, mass parties, and the new parties that were formed around the attempt to rebuild the working class of the 21st century. He makes a case for a new type of internationalism, capable of coordination with regards to capital movement and which speaks to taxation. He proposes nothing less, than a new democratic and ecological mode of economic planning. Leo Panitch is Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Political Science at York University in Toronto. He is the Co-editor of the Socialist Register whose annual volumes he has edited for past 35 years. He is Co-author, together with Sam Gindin, of the award-winning book The Making of Global Capitalism: The Political Economy of American Empire, a remarkable piece of the political economy of contemporary global capitalism. The Ιnterview is conducted by Kate Hudson. She is the General secretary of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in the UK. She is also managing editor of the journal Transform UK, and is a national officer of Left Unity, a member party of the European Left. The conversaion is moderated by Angelina Giannopoulou, a Political scientist and facilitator for Transform! Europe, in the programme “Strategic Perspectives of the Radical Left and European Integration”. The Mosaik-Blog is delighted to collaborate on this podcast with transform! Europe, a network of 34 European organizations in 22 countries, active in the fields of political education and critical scientific analysis. The network is the recognized political foundation of the Party of the European Left. After the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the series "The Left Reflects on the Global Pandemic" was launched, in which various befriended intellectuals were asked to share their reflections, assessments and proposals regarding the crisis. Over the next six weeks, all editions of this series will appear here on Mosaik-Podcast.

Two Canadian socialist thinkers have published a new book on the successes and failures, the crises, contradictions and conflicts in present-day capitalism. In The Making of Global Capitalism: The Political Economy of American Empire (Verso, 2013), Leo Panitch and Sam Gindin trace the evolution of the international capitalist system over the last century. (Panitch is a professor of political science at Toronto's York University while Gindin holds the Packer Chair in Social Justice at York.) They argue that today's global capitalism would not have been possible without American leadership especially after the two World Wars and that the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve were more crucial in extending and maintaining American power than the Pentagon or the CIA. The U.S. capitalist empire is an “informal” one, they write, in which Americans set the terms for international trade and investment in partnership with other sovereign, but less powerful states. Panitch and Gindin also disagree with those who contend that China is set to replace the U.S. as the world's economic superpower. They write that China does not have the institutional capacity to manage the crisis-prone, global capitalist system — a burden that, for the foreseeable future, will continue to be carried by the American empire. The Making of Global Capitalism: The Political Economy of American Empire won the 2013 Deutscher Prize awarded for books which exemplify “the best and most innovative new writing in or about the Marxist tradition.” The New Books Network spoke with co-author Leo Panitch during his recent visit to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
