IN ASSOCIATION with Tribune magazine, British socialist economist Grace Blakeley is at the helm of the new weekly podcast A World To Win. The podcast aims
to educate and inform listeners about the current and historical struggles of socialists in different parts of the world, and to instill a sense of global solidarity by encouraging listeners to take action in support of different
campaigns and movements.
In the first episode Grace Blakeley interviews former UK Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn about the past five years, the Conservative government's handling of the coronavirus pandemic – and the future of socialism.
In a piece written for Tribune, Blakeley writes:
'I came away from our conversation feeling optimistic – not because the challenges our movement faces aren’t daunting – but because, as Jeremy reminded
me, so many socialists throughout history have faced even greater obstacles. Whether the Chartists fighting for workers’ rights, feminists struggling for women’s emancipation, or pacifists campaigning against deadly wars,
those fighting for a better world have always found themselves facing the combined force of an establishment intent on maintaining the status quo.'
