In the ’00s, animal rights protestors nearly won their battle to ban vivisection in the UK, shutting down multiple breeding farms that were supplying laboratories with cats, dogs and guinea pigs.

But at the last moment, the government made a dramatic U-turn, blocking their attempt to shut down Huntingdon Life Sciences and throwing activists in jail.

How did this winning campaign fall apart? Why was the war on terror a crucial turning point? And what might the Palestine movement learn from its tactics?

Rivkah Brown is joined by Tom Harris, an activist with Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) and author of Your Neighbour Kills Puppies: Inside the Animal Liberation Movement.

This week on The Verso Podcast we’re taking a deep dive into the relationship between blackness and modern visual culture in the digital age. Our host, Eleanor Penny, will be joined by Legacy Russell and Fred Moten to delve into complicated relationship between philosophy, music, virality, and critical fabulation - in order to elucidate the fundamental way in which the history of modernity is inextricably bound up with images of blackness.

How do mainstream politicians and pundits contribute to the normalisation of far-right ideas, even as they claim to reject racism and populism? That's one of many vital questions asked by Aaron Winter and Aurelien Mondon in their book Reactionary Democracy.

Following ACFM's recent Trip about Fascism, Keir and Jem speak to Aaron and Aurelien about the making of the "woke conspiracy", how illiberal politics absorbs liberal rhetoric, and why the left has to stop falling for reactionary narratives – and give up "debating" the far-right.

Produced by Matt Huxley.

ACFM Microdose: Reactionary Democracy w/ Aaron Winter & Aurelien Mondon

Let Us Be Happy And Cheerful _ Munk Engelund

In our first episode mainly in English, we start by moving through the seven seas. We listen to borders and crossings, a poem in different languages and spot the traces of a magical snail in Hawai’i. What do the bodies of water sound like? Who are the ones struggling to keep the rivers free-flowing? We turn our ears to water protectors, allies who fight the machines that tear up the earth. When our journey around the hemispheres finally makes a full circle, we end up in Högdalen – the Incorporated City that never sleeps, where twelve talking dolls help us explore the power relations between the human and the non-human.
