This chapter explores the complexities of internationalism within the British left, tracing its evolution against Britain's imperial past. It critiques the contradictions between domestic social justice and international actions, particularly concerning anti-colonial movements, while emphasizing the importance of solidarity in addressing global issues. The discussion also highlights the challenges of militarization and the need for sustainable alternatives to traditional industries, calling for a reimagined approach to internationalism that prioritizes peace and collective responsibility.
Featuring Jeremy Corbyn and Laleh Khalili on internationalism and left-wing politics. A special Dig co-hosted with the Verso Podcast in front of a live London audience.
