Show Notes
This week we are joined by the brilliant thinker Louisa Munch! We give a breakdown of the events in Iran before considering how this war is driven by worldviews colliding rather than strategy. We also look at some good news with the Green Party by-election success, a big affront to the Keir Starmer project. Then, we get into the theory as Louisa teaches us why Nostalgia can be dangerous in politics and why Critical Theory is important to learn.
