The Red-Brown “zombie plague”: how fascist ideas are becoming popular on the Left w. Daphne Lawless
Season 1, Episode 21, Nov 06, 2022, 04:50 PM
A discussion with Daphne Lawless from Fightback! We talk about a series of articles found here: https://fightback.org.nz/2018/05/09/the-red-brown-zombie-plague-part-one/ (This article contains links to others) which investigates right-wing/fascist creep into left spaces. These articles describe how Trump/Brexit, Syria, Covid and now Ukraine have been weaponized via conspiracy and other ideologically bankrupt means (such as campism) to interject reactionary politics into traditionally left spheres. We also touch on other related topics including a general despair with modern politics, globalization vs. reactionary globalist critiques and a need for internationalist solidarity and empathy for victims of all imperialism.
