The Right Is Winning. Here’s How We Change That | Aaron Bastani Talks to Ash Sarkar

"What can be learned from Zohran Mamdani’s win in New York? Does the left hate Britain? What do we need to do, in order to establish a ‘majority rule’? And is there such a thing as a middle-class dog?"

#AshSarkar's analysis of #ZarahSultana's #YourParty is incisive and concise, tho kinder than my take:

1/ #Sultana tried to hijack YP at the ourset, by unilaterally announcing herself as co-leader. The resulting mistrust was inevitable, and fatal.

2/ Sultana is primarily a revolutionary socialist allied with entryist factions. #Corbyn is a Bennite, seeking a parliamentary path to socialism. I have sympathies with both traditions, but they don't mix. They should not be joined together.

'In 2001, Eric Schlosser published Fast Food Nation: an investigation into the toxic depths of America’s food industry. Twenty five years later, the book remains an urgent intervention, as much for what it says about workers’ rights as for our agricultural systems and dietary health.

On Downstream this week, #AshSarkar talks to #EricSchlosser about what’s changed since 2001, and what remains unreformed. How have we developed one food system for the rich and another for everyone else? Could the food industry operate – and America eat – without migrant workers? And did Eric foresee that marijuana edibles would become the new fast food?

"... add up the value of everything you own and minus your debts. Could you live on that for the rest of your life? ... If not, you're part of the big we, right? You're part of the movement, you're the 99%. If you can live off it for the rest of your life, we're coming for you."

This is a great interview. Lot's of insights I think are relevant to the social democratic left here too.

In one small speech, she has made everything else on #BBCQUESTIONTIME seem like 'small beer' she speaks of (summary)

£200bill of our money paid to privatised utilities: rail, water, mail, energy, buses that's money that could have gone into reducing customer's bills or infrastructure

Or social care, run by private equity, looking for 20% profit costing local authorities milions

There are 50 families in the UK who have more wealth than 50% of this country combined
