    The case for change from within ft. Labor Against War’s Marcus Strom

    As the war in the Middle East escalates, Tom recently called upon members of Labor Against War to take a stand and leave the party for its support of America and Israel’s illegal actions. In this special bonus episode on our main feed, Tom is joined by Marcus Strom, National Convenor and co-founder of Labor Against War. If he agrees the Labor Party is wrong, why stay a member? Has the party changed or was it always like this? What is the rationale for advocating progress from within Labor, and, when Greens back Labor in the senate to form government, are the Greens just Labor with extra steps? ---------- The show can only exist because of our wonderful Patreon subscriber’s support.
