BREAKING: Over a thousand people gather in Trafalgar Square to oppose genocide and the Palestine Action ban.

It was really engaging to think about imperialism with Costas Lapavitsas and Claude Serfati at Historical Materialism this summer - with a lively French audience! Promising that so many young people are interested in Marxism and (anti-)imperialism. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLwW...
