Podcast Episode 91: Lessons of Left dis-unity Past

This time we shy away from strategy and issues of the future to take a sober look at why left unity has not happened. First in the past with a glimpse of lessons from ex-communists and from the account of two socialist women in Germany right before the Nazis took power. We then spend the 2nd Half deconstructing a meme mocking ML views; but use it to explore all sorts of left-wing ideas and why MLs have a point about some things. We finish with the thing that has united the left as least for the moment; having a laugh from Trump having covid.
