19: Antisemitism, Local Elections and the End of Two Party Duopoly

In this week’s episode, Joe takes us on a tour through the recent local elections as we contemplate the end of the two-party system and the brewing Green insurgency. Then Shanice discusses two of this disintegrating system’s morbid symptoms: the rise of both antisemitism and moral panics about antisemitism, asking how the left fights both racism towards Jews and the instrumentalisation of Jewish identity by bad faith actors defending a broken political settlement.ReadingsAbram Leon - The Jewish QuestionHackney Green Party ManifestoCallum Cant and Matthew Lee - The Future in our Past: The General StrikePlease subscribe, comment and leave a review!Hosted by Shanice McBean, Jonas Marvin and Joe Todd.Edited by Marcus Berdaut for ⁠⁠⁠Ampersounds Productions.⁠⁠⁠Become a supporter: ⁠⁠⁠https://lifeoftheparty.uk/ ⁠⁠⁠Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠.This is an Ampersounds production.CREDITSHosted by Shanice McBean, Jonas Marvin and Joe Todd.Edited by Marcus Berdaut⁠⁠⁠⁠.Design by Rachel Carr / rachelcarr.co.ukMusic by Benjamin Tissot / 9INTLNTLWTYTDKVNAfter Hours Music by Marcus P / MADSQ4HJPOYFTZ1TBecome a supporter: patreon.com/LifeofthePartyFollow us on ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠This is an Ampersounds production.⁠ Hosted on Acast.
