S2E23: Marx's Grave - A Communist Plot ft. Lewis North - a podcast by Raj Thomas, Rowan Emslie and Warren Peace

Another tasty episode of C&D out for you guys, now featuring Warren's new microphone, giving him a sexier voice than ever before

POLITICS WATCH
We cover the recent local elections here in the UK. Why does a victory for Labour still feel like a bit of a disappointment? Why did it turn out this way? And what have we got to do to truly undo the Tories hold on politics, when the Windrush scandal and Brexit chaos are not apparently enough?!

BIG THINKING
It's Karl Marx's 200th Birthday, so we discuss how his thinking is still impacting younger generations so many years on, how we judge his contribution to history, and what aspects of Marxism still belong in political thought of today and the future.

Rowan shout's out one of his favourite alternative leftist thinkers, Alexander Herzen - one of Marx's contemporaries and rivals. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/70069.My_Past_and_Thoughts

FEATURE
Rowan sit's down with Lewis North, an MEP's assistant to discuss his experience getting involved in European politics, his current work, and the effect Brexit will have on political jobs for young people in the future. [Unfortunately we had audio issues, so the interview had to be abridged]
