Spart Talk

Revolutions? Fascism? What's going on in the world?! A conversation with Comrade Perrault

Season 1 Episode 40

Mansa sits down with Comrade Perrault to discuss all the things happening in the world, from uprisings in the Global South to military buildups, wars and broken ceasefires, the growing right wing and gigantic stock market bubbles. In a time where the news cycle is dizzying and it's easy to feel overwhelmed, or get swept away by the photos online showing the latest struggles across the world, and when the left is either busy chanting revolution, or proclaiming the arrival of fascism, Mansa and Perrault try to make sense of the direction of travel and arm workers and leftists with some basic lessons for coping.
