Ash is joined by Novara's own Aaron Bastani, Moya Lothian-McLean, Michael Walker and James Butler to talk about what was bugging them in the year 2022.

From landlordism to normativity and a nasty turn in identity politics and from the declining fortunes of Europe to the absolute state of the discourse, the Novara team summarises the year that was and looks forward to another bumper year of fighting back.

Happy New Year!

Imperialism, neoliberalism's failure and the new cold war, with Radhika Desai

The United States tries to keep people in the dark about the blockade against Cuba and the many accomplishments of the Cuban Revolution. This is part of the U.S. campaign to overturn the socialist government in Cuba that has successfully led its people through more than 60 years of attacks, attempted coups, sanctions, trade embargoes, and the Covid pandemic.

Brian is joined by Gloria La Riva, the coordinator of the Cuba and Venezuela Solidarity Committee and a longtime leader of brigades to Cuba to learn and expose people in the United States to the realities on the ground, and Aminah Sheikh, who is a labor and community organizer active in the Canadian peace movement.

Come with us to a utopian city on a Honduran island, founded by private companies intent on a mix of libertarianism, venture capitalism, crypto and, less consciously, neo-colonialism. The story of Prospera involves suing the government of Honduras, conducting unregulated medical experiments and water disputes. It features an assorted cast of wealthy, goateed failsons and Habsburgs. Our guest writer is Riley Quinn of the Trashfuture podcast.

Secret documents appear to reveal the internal assessments of Pentagon officials regarding the war in Ukraine, the extensive US direction of the proxy war, and how even its close allies are not safe from U.S. spying.

Brian is joined by Walter Smolarek, editor of Liberation News and producer of this show, to help explain and dissect what’s going on in Ukraine, the destruction of the Nordstream pipeline, and recent inflammatory coverage of China.

Leaked Pentagon Docs Show US Elites Want Never-Ending Ukraine War

On this episode of SPS, Pamela & Andreas interview Spencer Leonard. Spencer is a founding member of Platypus and has recently published a two-volume selection of Marx & Engels journalism. The first volume focuses on Bonapartism, with selections from 1851–1859, and the second focuses on their writings on imperialism, with selections from 1856–1862. He speaks to us about the democratic revolution, liberalism, and the self-contradiction of bourgeois society. Spencer challenges the thesis put forth by Domenico Losurdo of an advancing "de-emancipation" alongside emancipation, and raises the problem of Marxism in the 20th century, and its legacy in the 21st.
