Max Harris and Max Rashbrooke discuss how we turn around the right wing slogans like nanny state, woke identity politics, and the inefficiency of the public sector – and how we build a progressive agenda.
From Donald Trump to David Seymour, from Peter Dutton to Christopher Luxon, we are subject to a flood of measures designed to give more power to corporate interests. The measures are accompanied by a deluge of slogans and attacks on so-called woke culture and on big government. Trump has even blamed a plane crash on diversity programmes.
Actual evidence is disregarded; in fact science, medicine and academia are targets.
Max Rashbrooke uses the push for privatisation as a case study; Max Harris looks at the push-back against the Treaty.
They go further and discuss ways we can more effectively formulate progressive ideas and build a progressive movement.
