Episode 141 - Eternal War (ft. Juliet Jacques)

Whilst the so-called centre-left feel gleeful and emboldened, every real socialist around feels depressed as fuck right now - not just in Britain, but many of our international comrades too; RP Corp Intl is, after all, an international multimedia conglomerate. Writer and RP regular Juliet Jacques (contributor to Tribune, New Socialist and elsewhere, host of @Suite-212, author of Trans: A Memoir, and @zinovievletter on Twitter) joins us to discuss not so much the left in the wake of the election as *being* on the left in the wake of the election; feeling the weight of the great closing off of possibility, the toxic mix of political despair and personal depression, the constant asking ourselves how we're supposed to go forward at all. We almost called this episode "What's Left?" - which is sort of the question it poses - but decided to name it after a Crazy Moose song rather than a book by a cunt.
