What's up with Japan? A discussion with Comrades Philipp and Jeanne

Mansa is joined by Comrades Philipp and Jeanne from Tokyo to get educated on what's happening in Japan. There's a new Prime Minister in town, Sanae Takaichi, who has been nicknamed the Japanese Margaret Thatcher, the right is growing, attacks are on the horizon, yet the left is stuck in its old ways. Our comrades point to some lessons that the left needs to learn in order to go forward. Our discussion is based on the article "Japan in crisis, the left in disarray - Workers need to prepare for the coming attacks" can be read here: https://iclfi.org/pubs/icl-ja/5/elections (use google translate for English)Read the rest of the issue here: https://iclfi.org/pubs/icl-ja/5Follow our Japanese language social media on X @icl_nihonGet in touch!sparttalk.org | Like the episode and subscribe to the show wherever you get your podcasts, and follow us on X @SpartacistICL, YouTube @Spartacist, or follow Mansa on Insta @punjabibolshevik
