Today's
program features a discussion on the Brexit vote. Vince talks about
what the vote means, and what it doesn't mean. He also explores
procedural and legal challenges, the various ideologies and
organizations that supported the "leave" vote and their connection to
Trump's supporters, and what the Brexit vote means for Left political
movements around the globe. Most
importantly, Vince suggests that the Left shouldn't tear itself apart
over the Brexit results. There is plenty of room for disagreement and
solidarity. It would be wise to recognize that both sides have
legitimate concerns and suggestions. Political, economic and media
elites want to divide progressives. It's up to us to reject this false
narrative and provide alternatives to both nation-state capitalism and
neoliberal-EU capitalism.
