The discussion delves into the hurdles faced by the party in registering candidates due to stringent requirements by the Australian Electoral Commission.

Max discusses his political awakening at university and the necessity of socialism as a response to the failures of capitalism. The conversation expands to the party's policies on housing, the impact of the anti-Semitism campaign, and the broader goals of socialist revolution. The episode concludes with a reflection on the challenges posed by identity politics and mainstream media's role in shaping public perception.00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:33 Party Registration Issues05:53 Warwick's Background and Union Experience17:18 Max's Background and Political Awakening20:31 Critique of Capitalism and Call for Socialism26:12 Addressing Common Criticisms of Socialism35:25 Specific Policies and Election Talking Points37:05 Redirecting Military Spending to Public Programs37:50 Critique of Housing Policies and Tax Structures39:11 Media's Role in Shaping Public Perception39:55 Antisemitism and Legislative Responses44:02 The Intersection of Media and Government53:07 Revolutionary Optimism and Workers' Struggles01:07:49 Identity Politics and the Working Class01:12:27 Final Thoughts and Call to ActionTo financially support the Podcast you can make:a per-episode donation via Patreon or one-off donation via credit card; orone-off or regular donations via Paypal orif you are into Cryptocurrency you can send Satoshis.

In this episode, Trevor interviews Max Boddy and Oscar Grenfell from the Socialist Equality Party.

He has written extensively on key political and industrial issues, including in defence of Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning, the political and social crisis confronting young people and exposures of the pro-capitalist policies of the Greens and of the pseudo-left's divisive “identity” politics.

Hey, y'all! We are back with our multi-part series and are hitting probably the godfather of third party people. Today we are covering the early Commie years of gadfly of all gadflies, Lyndon LaRouche.

Democratic Party leadership is telling Californians to vote "no" on the question of whether to Governor Gavin Newsom. But there's a second question on the ballot: If a majority of Californians vote "yes," who should replace him? Democratic leaders have advised voters to leave the second question blank. But hasn't the New York mayoral race taught the left that it should consolidate early around progressive alternative? As we discussed last week, the leading contender to replace Newsom is conservative talk show host Larry Elder -- not a guy you want in charge of the environment, COVID management, or, well, anything. But because the Democratic Party is hedging all bets on Newsom, there hasn't been much guidance about who the best left candidates in the race really are. The liberal media, unsurprisingly, has been silent about the progressive candidates in the race. Unfortunately, left media hasn't been any better. That's why this week, Brie spoke to a panel of three leading left candidates: Green Party candidate & criminal defense attorney Dan Kapelovitz, Socialist Equality Party candidate David Moore, and California National Party candidate and political science lecturer at San Francisco State, Michael Loebs. This conversation is as much about their individual candidacies as is is about their respective parties' theories of change. Everyone here may agree on the need for Medicare for All, but a non-Marxist professor of Marxism cum successionist, a Trotskyite, and a Green Party member each have very different theories of how to get there. It's an edifying conversation that interrogates the likelihood that a President Gavin Newsom will bring us Medicare for All, questions the value of "pushing" Democratic politicians who will always serve capital, and asks: should California just go it alone? I also ask the panelists why they haven't managed to consolidate around one left candidate with two weeks left until election day.

I have once again been deleted by the almighty social media platform Facebook. Again, I have no idea why.  This will be the second time in less than 10 days.  There's seems to have been a purging of left wing pages and people.  This is from the World Wide Socialist Website:   On Friday, Facebook carried out a purge of left-wing, antiwar and progressive pages and accounts, including leading members of the Socialist Equality Party. Facebook gave no explanation why the accounts were disabled or even a public acknowledgement that the deletions had occurred   At least a half dozen leading members of the Socialist Equality Party had their Facebook accounts permanently disabled. This included the public account of Genevieve Leigh, the national secretary of the International Youth and Students for Social Equality, and the personal account of Niles Niemuth, the US managing editor of the World Socialist Web Site. In 2016, Niemuth was the Socialist Equality Party's candidate for US Vice President. Facebook also disabled the London Bus Drivers Rank-and-File Committee Facebook page, which was set up with the support of the Socialist Equality Party (UK) to organize opposition among bus drivers. This follows a widely discussed call for a walkout by bus drivers to demand elementary protections against the COVID-19 pandemic.   Read the entire article here: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2021/01/23/pers-j23.html   This particular episode was recorded after my 1st deletion from Facebook, and before my livestream co-host Pascal Robert was subsequently deleted by Facebook as well.     You can hear Conan's podcast Protonic Reversal here: https://www.protonicreversal.com/   You can hear Conan's critically acclaimed band, Conan Neutron & the Secret Friends Here: https://neutronfriends.bandcamp.com/ (He's got some limited edition vinyl people!)   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.  We appreciate each and everyone of you.  If you have the means, and you feel so inclined, BECOME A PATRON!

There’s a new Labour Candidate in Town. After more than thirty years as MP for Holborn and St Pancras, Frank Dobson is standing down and the party has chosen Sir Keir Starmer to fight the seat. He’s a Barrister, specialising in Human Rights issues and was Director of Public Prosecutions for five years before leaving the post in 2013. Camden Community Radio caught up with him at Labour’s local office where he spoke about tackling the constituency’s problems, lowering the voting age and how he doesn’t like being called SIR Keir – “It’s Keir” he insists. Our reporter, Ann Carroll, began by asking him what he feels he brings to Camden. The full list of candidates is: Natalie Bennett, Green Party Will Blair, Conservative Party Jill Fraser, Liberal Democrat Party Vanessa Helen Hudson, Animal Welfare Party Shane O’Donnell, Cannabis is Safer than Alcohol David O’Sullivan, Socialist Equality Party Maxine Spencer, UK Independence Party Keir Starmer, Labour Party Package by: Ann Carroll Recording: Marian Larragy More about Keir Starmer :: Leader of the Opposition Interview with Jill Fraser :: Liberal Democrat Party Candidate Interview with Natalie Bennett :: Green Party Candidate Interview with Will Blair :: Conservative Party Candidate AnotherCatherine Carroll interview :: Sharon Sexton as Lisa Minelli Back to Camden Community Radio :: Follow Camden Community Radio on Twitter :: File Download (16:27 min / 15 MB)

Next year’s General Election will mark a watershed for Camden as the long serving Labour MP for Holborn and St Pancras, Frank Dobson, will be retiring. His party have yet to announce who will take his place as candidate, but the Conservative Party have chosen theirs. Will Blair is already busy campaigning while holding down a full time job. He took time out of his schedule to come into our studio and talked to Ann Carroll about his fondness for Camden, his background, handling social media and the threat from Ukip. She began by asking him why he was standing.

The political profile of the Green Party has been rising sharply, not least in Camden where its Leader, Natalie Bennett, is standing as a prospective parliamentary candidate in Holborn and St Pancras. The seat’s been held by Labour’s Frank Dobson for more than 30 years but he’s now standing down. The constituency is on the Green’s list of its top 12 targets and Natalie Bennett says she’s going all out to win it. She took some time from the campaign to speak to Camden Community Radio’s reporter, Ann Carroll.

Ten years ago Jill Fraser stood in the Holborn and St Pancras constituency as the Lib Dem candidate. It was said she gave Labour a bit of a scare. She’s back again with another attempt to take the seat held for more than thirty years by Frank Dobson, who’s retiring. She spoke to our reporter Ann Carroll about her political beginnings, her determination to represent the local community even if that puts her at odds with her party, and fish and chips.
