The Party Line Live

Episode 28 - The Party Line LiveThe Party Line's first ever live show was all set to go, packed with hilarity, interactivity and lots and lots of bullshit, before it was rudely interrupted by a brazen act of US and Israeli imperialism. As such we spent the first half of the ep discussing the very non-funny war, and how the left should oppose the US aggression without becoming defenders of a reactionary theocratic monarchy (sorry tankie morons). So it starts with heavy stuff, including pointing out the hypocrisy of Vance and Trump's so-called 'isolationism' and hostility to 'forever wars', and we're grateful for our audience for sticking with us. The second half of the show was more interactive, with our editor Charlie hosting a 'Reverse Albo' segment (where Grace Tame was called difficult once again),  a look at some unbelievable headlines from the last few weeks, as well as some special guest appearances.Huge thanks to our tireless editors Charlie Wardrop and Persephone Waxman, and our content editor Charlotte TavanWhile we will always release our content for free, please support us on patreon if you can.*****************This is a podcast by members of the Socialist Party in Naarm (Melbourne). We hope to bring a radical perspective to a podcast landscape dominated by insipid liberalism (looking at you, The Daily). The pod will come out weekly, and aims to breakdown news and current events from a socialist point of view. While a lot of what’s going on in the world is fairly bleak, The Party Line will try and highlight voices of resistance and struggle.If you like what you hear, please rate, subscribe and share with your friends, colleagues and comrades.

We need your help to build a fighting socialist movement that can take on both the far right and its centrist enablers.(The views and opinions expressed in our show are ours and ours alone, and do not reflect on the Socialist Party or Victorian Socialists.) This pod was produced on stolen land and we stand in solidarity with our Indigenous comrades in their ongoing fight against racism and capitalism.
