18. Marxism and Politics, Pt. IV - Class and Party | Ralph Miliband

Hark! In the distance. What's that noise? Them's the dulcet tones of the boys talkin' some more Milly Band. So buckle in, hunker down, tune in, drop out and buckle up for one H-E-double-hockey-sticks of an episode, because this week we're talking about the necessity of a working class party capable of overthrowing this garbage can of a world we currently inhabit. In a twist, during this episode Dan winds up becoming a Stalinist and Jack a Maoist (owing to his propensity of relentless self-criticism). Who said we can't all get along? Shout-out to our friends in the Cleveland DSA! Go Spiders!! Reading: Marxism and Politics by Ralph Miliband (1977), Chapter V, Class and Party.
