    23: Britain's Election: A Marxist Analysis

    The Conservative Party is licking its wounds after its disastrous showing at the General Election. Never in their history have the Tories received such a low share of the vote. But Starmer’s win is extremely shallow. Despite five years of work purging the left and cosying up to big business in the name of electability, Labour also received the lowest the share of the vote this century. So how do we understand these events? What do socialists and Marxists say about where we should go forward from here?

    22: Tories vs. Tory-Lite: Where Next After the Election?

    The Tories are on their way out! But a Labour government will be just as committed to serving the interests of big business. A new left, anti-war political party with socialist policies must be urgently built to challenge the capitalist parties and the racism of Farage. This episode of Revolutionary Ideas will discuss just how this alternative can be built going into a Labour government. Listen now!

    21: The Militant Tendency - Marxism in the 1980s

    Through the 1960s until the 1990s, the Militant Tendency gained infamy for its defence of Marxist and socialist ideas within the labour movement in Britain. It took the fight to the Thatcher government in the 80s, both in the struggle of the socialist Liverpool City Council, and in the struggle against the poll tax. What were the lessons of these fight? How was Militant built? Join us for another episode of Revolutionary Ideas to find out more! socialistalternative.info

    20: 1931-49 - Years of War and Revolution

    The years 1931-49 were years of reaction, fascism and inter-imperialist war, but also of revolution.

    19: Spain 1931-38 - Revolution Betrayed by Stalinism

    The Spanish Revolution 1931-38 was one of the great workers' revolutions of the 20th century. But it was also one of the great tragedies. Stalinism played a crucial role in its eventual defeat. What were the reasons for that? And how could a genuine Marxist leadership have done things differently?
