#46: Jeremy Gilbert on the Age of Individualism (Part 1)

For our latest episode Jeremy Gilbert joins Amogh and Matt to discuss his research on individualism and neoliberalism. We talk about both Left pessimism and Left pluralism, as well as how to evaluate the victories and defeats from the Occupy movement to the Labor Party. We end Part One of this two-part conversation revisiting Stuart Hall's call for a "Marxism without guarantees".READINGS:--"Thinking of Democratic Goals: In Conversation with Jeremy Gilbert" - Aleksander Kopka, 2025: https://olrsupplement.com/2026/01/06/thinking-of-democratic-goals-in-conversation-with-jeremy-gilbert/--"Acid Corbynism: an experimental politics for testing times" - Jeremy Gilbert, 2017: https://theconversation.com/acid-corbynism-an-experimental-politics-for-testing-times-85505Jeremy Gilbert is an academic, writer, podcaster, activist and DJ based in London, and the current editor of the journal New Formations.
