Episode 368 of RevolutionZ has as its guest Bhaskar Sunkara of Jacobin and more recently The Nation and author of The Socialist Manifesto. Our topic isn't a kinder capitalism; it's a post capitalist vision and practice where private ownership is overcome and control of production resides with the people who do the work.Together we discuss seeking a higher minimum wages and seeking higher wages more generally, full employment, greater workers say in the workplace and community, municipal support for co-ops and more. We urge that what we seek, how we seek it, and even what issues we raise while engaged in the pursuits, should deliver concrete gains in the present and also rewire expectations about who should decide and who should benefit in the future.Sunkara discusses electoral campaigns and candidates, but more so the system in which elections occur. He challenges the limits of welfarism and highlights the power question: who owns, who governs, who invests. Together we also broach the hard problem of the division of labor and derivative class divisions. Sunkara says that specialization won't disappear. We can't and won't all do everything. But what we do and how we do it must be democratized so that expertise serves everyone instead of hardening into a class that serves mainly itself over workers. We also explore differences and agreements about when to challenge what issues and about what structures are needed to attain our goals versus what structures will continually obstruct our goals. How can and should the choices of a socialist in a workplace or on a campus, for example, and really anywhere, differ from the choices of a progressive working in the same settings? Issues. Demands. Formulations.Regarding the electoral arena we consider why some workers back Trump and why even center-left parties feel distant. We agree the answer isn't to scold; it's to organize. It is to show up where people live, to honor local experiences and concerns, and to build organizations that feel like home not like elite seminars. Sunkara explores how an independent profile—more Sanders than party brand—and now more Mamdani than party brand—can help rebuild trust and make clear class politics evident again.Are we ready to move beyond slogans and toward a post-capitalism that's practical, democratic, and winnable? Are we ready to further define our vision's features to the extent we now can, and to refine and improve them as we proceed? Sunkara proposes a path forward to consider. Support the show

Village churches are as much a part of our rural landscape as trees and hedgerows. However according to a recent survey by the National Churches Trust, as many as nine hundred of Britain's countryside churches are in danger of closing in the next five years. We visit a church in North Cumbria where the farming community is determined to save it. We also speak to the National Churches Trust about their fears for the future of small rural churches.There's also discussion of the latest government changes to planning regulations.Producer: Rebecca Rooney
As the UK joins 26 other Council of Europe States in calling for a rebalancing of the European Convention on Human Rights as between the individual rights of irregular migrants and the public interest in defending freedom and security, Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC discuss the political imperatives which drove Justice Secretary David Lammy and Attorney General Lord Hermer to attend a potentially highly significant meeting in Strasbourg designed to head off the rise of populist, anti-ECHR parties across Europe. Click this link to read the statement issued by the 27 States following the Strasbourg meeting - https://www.gov.uk/government/news/joint-statement-to-the-conference-of-ministers-of-justice-of-the-council-of-europe Ken and Tim then turn to answering listeners' questions - what do the statistics concerning the number of defeats for the UK in the European Court of Human Rights over the past 45 years really tell us? Is it really the case that trial by Judge alone is less fair than trial by jury? If trial by magistrates in the Youth Court is largely the case for children why not for adults? Should defendants be able to elect judge only trial in the Crown Court in all cases? And what is the evidence that an increase in magistrates' sentencing powers leads to a rise in the prison population? Finally, the duo anticipate the special episodes of Double Jeopardy to be released over the holiday period in which their guest is the former New Zealand High Court Judge and Chief Prosecutor for Auckland, Simon Moore KC. At a time when comparisons are often made with the New Zealand criminal justice system's experience in 2011 of reforming the right to trial by jury, Simon gives his thoughts on the Lammy/Leveson proposals, explains current issues in the NZ criminal justice system and also discusses his extraordinary role as the chief prosecutor in the Pitcairn Island sexual abuse trials between 2002-2004. -- Covering the critical intersections of politics and law in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy. With in-depth discussions and influential guests, Double Jeopardy is the podcast that uncovers the forces shaping Britain's legal and political future. What happens when politics and law collide? How do politics shape the law - and when does the law push back? What happens when judicial independence is tested, human rights come under attack, or freedom of expression is challenged? And who really holds power in Britain's legal and political system? Get answers to questions like these weekly on Wednesdays. Double Jeopardy is presented by Ken Macdonald KC, former Director of Public Prosecutions, and Tim Owen KC, as they break down the legal and political issues in Britain. From high-profile legal cases to the evolving state of British democracy, Double Jeopardy offers expert legal commentary on the most pressing topics in UK law, politics, and human rights. Ken Macdonald KC served as Director of Public Prosecutions from 2003-2008, shaping modern prosecutorial policy and advocating for the rule of law. He is a former Warden of Wadham College, Oxford, a crossbench member of the House of Lords, and a leading writer, commentator and broadcaster on politics and the rule of law. Tim Owen KC has been involved in many of the most significant public, criminal and human rights law cases over the past four decades. Both bring unparalleled experience from the frontline of Britain's legal and political landscape. If you like The Rest Is Politics, Talking Politics, Law Pod UK and Today in Focus, you'll love Double Jeopardy.
What do Perth’s high-density planning changes mean for property owners? Today, we talked about how the WA Planning Commission is set to take control of zoning, potentially creating 35,000 new homes around 10 major train stations. Landowners in these areas could see significant land value uplifts, but how will increased density impact property appeal? With more apartment developments and rental demand near transit hubs, will this drive rental yields or cap capital growth in the long term? How will these changes affect affordability, infrastructure, and overall market dynamics? Let’s go inside.

Critics aren't convinced the Government's new mega-Ministry will work. It's merging the environment, housing and urban development, and transport ministries into a new Ministry of Cities, Environment, Regions and Transport. Right-wing think tank NZ Initiative executive director Oliver Hartwich says it will still report to the same number of ministers. He told Heather du Plessis-Allan having it fully operational in six months is also ambitious. Hartwich says the ministries are busy with RMA reforms, which are taking up all their resources. He says putting a super merger on top of that could be asking too much. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Quebec family doctors have struck a tentative agreement with the province, but Dr. Marina Lagodich has made up her mind. When the CAQ government rushed through their healthcare overhaul, Bill 2, in late October, it was the last straw. December 17 will be her last day practicing as a Quebec doctor. Across the province, doctors have criticized the bill, saying it encourages “fast food medicine.” Health policy expert Steven Lewis says although the Quebec government's means are extreme, it's hard to argue with its aims: to solve the “disgraceful” primary care crisis.
Defense Minister Yisrael Katz will bring his proposal to close Galei Tzahal (Army Radio) to the cabinet for approval on Sunday. The coalition has also set up a special Knesset committee to advance a bill that would replace Israel’s independent media regulators with political appointees. The change will give the government sweeping authority to fine and sanction news outlets – a move critics warn could permanently reshape the country’s media environment. Another bill under discussion would privatize Israel’s public broadcaster, Kan, and close down its news division. Earlier this year, Reporters Without Borders dropped Israel’s ranking to 112 out of 180 countries in the World Press Freedom Index. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke about these developments with Tehilla Shwartz Altshuler, a senior fellow at the Israel Democracy Institute, and the head of the Institute’s Democracy in the Information Age program.

Smaller electricity retailers and generators are worried impending power market reforms won't create the level playing-field promised. The Electricity Authority's proposed a non-discrimination rule that will force gentailers to play fair when deciding to sell electricity to itself or other companies. Some smaller players, including Electric Kiwi, have written to the authority saying the rule doesn't go far enough. Its Chief Executive Huia Burt told Ryan Bridge the rule only applies to leftover electricity. But she says that could be a very insignificant amount of the total volume - which doesn't create a level playing field. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

O'Gradyadvocates for rapid U.S. dollar adoption as the official currency to secure investor confidence before upcoming midterm elections potentially compromise Milei's reform agenda through electoral backlash. 1890

The Retirement Commissioner's unfazed at the prospect of a potential retirement village price rise. The Government's announced changes to the Retirement Villages Act 2003, aiming to ease the experience of elderly people and their families. Changes include ensuring money is paid back within a year after a resident leaves. Commissioner Jane Wrightson told Mike Hosking it's been a five-year process with painstaking consultation and assessment, and the Government has done a very careful balancing act, going straight through the middle of most of the disputes. She says that both parties, the operators and the residents, are pleased about some things and not so pleased about others, which suggests the changes are mostly right.
