Revolutionary Forgiveness: Beyond Moralism, Toward Liberation (with David Renton and Dr Hazel Croft)

How do we connect collective struggle with the search for justice? Adam is joined by historian Hazel Croft and theorist David Renton to discuss the concept of forgiveness and its strategic role in revolutionary struggles against structural and interpersonal harms. In doing so, we draw on our previous episode on the Comrade Delta scandal earlier this year, and the failure of Marxist organisations to develop new principles and procedures of justice and reparation.
