Episode notes

Emmet Connor, author of Red Pandemic, joins me to discuss his claim that Marxist ideas are expanding globally through culture, institutions and politics.

We start with the core question: is there actually a coherent Marxist movement in the modern West or is the term being used too loosely to describe broader social change?

We also explore what Marxism is today, how it may have evolved beyond its original economic focus and whether its historical outcomes are a failure of implementation or something inherent to the ideology itself.
