Solidarity Is the Future of the Left

Paul Smith: We need to redescribe what we're talking about so that we understand people who are struggling. There is both a history of victimization and slaughter and genocide, he says. And thinking about how that history of suffering works with an insistent political movement which also has invariably a spiritual dimension,. especially in anti-extractivist politics in Brazil for instance. So it's about making it dynamic and also we haven't really talked about solidarity but I do believe that expanding solidarity is the future of the left quite frankly.
