Mansa is back with Comrade Perrault to discuss the crisis of the left and the tasks of revolutionaries in the changing world situation. We discuss what exactly are the causes and symptoms of this crisis and why left groups who think they've escaped it are deluded; why left organisations ignore each other to their own detriment; the necessity of political clarification in the left; and why the current period calls for defensive struggles, not reckless offensives or abstentionist calls for revolution and socialism.
The discussion touches on themes in Perrault's presentation to the IEC Plenum of the ICL in April, reprinted in Spartacist: https://iclfi.org/spartacist/en/70/crisis-left
