About this listen
In this episode, Leo sits down with Harry Pitts and Matt Bolton, authors of Corbynism: A Critical Approach. Their book offered a left-critique of Corbynism, keenly examining how Corbynism’s truncated view of capitalism as a ‘rigged system’, led to an embrace of populist natavism and provided fertile ground for conspiracy theories.
Matt & Harry open up about their political background as Marxist academics and left-wing activists, and their motivations for writing the book. They reflect on the response their book received, and how their political outlooks and attitudes have changed since they first sat down to write it. Together, we discuss the missed opportunities of the Corbyn years and try to find some lessons from its ruins.
