Max Shanly calls in from the UK to give his thoughts on the formation of the new party challenging Labor and Reform. Shanly argues that it should be modeled on the American DSA, with an eye towards renewing the Republican tradition in the UK.
support us at https://www.patreon.com/c/thiswreckage for the fun half, in which we talk about the social conservative and petit bourgeois elements in the party, why Corbyn's actions have been misguided so far, Max's opinion on what's fundamentally wrong with the US political structure, and our suggestions on what the new party should be called.
