Episode 37 - The Party Line on Trump’s blockade of Iran’s blockade
The pod crew are happy to be back in the studio after the massive Marxism conference over Easter. We discuss the AI-isation of Mark Zuckerberg and Trump’s false idol worship. Angus Taylor has announced his first major policy position, and surprise, it’s just what Hanson has been arguing for.
The war on Iran and Lebanon continues, despite ceasefire agreements and negotiations. The crew discusses the direction of the war, and how it resembles the beginnings of previous world war scenarios. And crucially, who has the bigger blockade.
We need to build a left that can break the US Alliance - that’s the only solution to this terrifying scenario of global imperial confrontation.
Hosted by Jordan van den Lamb (@purplepingers), Anneke Demanuele and Omar Hassan. Huge thanks to our tireless editors Charlie Wardrop and Persephone Waxman, and our content editor Charlotte Tavan.

*****************
This is a podcast by members of the Socialist Party in Naarm (Melbourne). We hope to bring a radical perspective to a podcast landscape dominated by insipid liberalism (looking at you, The Daily). The pod will come out weekly, and aims to breakdown news and current events from a socialist point of view. While a lot of what’s going on in the world is fairly bleak, The Party Line will try and highlight voices of resistance and struggle.

If you find yourself agreeing with us more often than not, please join your local branch of the Socialist Party at socialists.org.au. We need your help to build a fighting socialist movement that can take on both the far right and its centrist enablers.
(The views and opinions expressed in our show are ours and ours alone, and do not reflect on the Socialist Party or Victorian Socialists.)
This pod was produced on stolen land and we stand in solidarity with our Indigenous comrades in their ongoing fight against racism and capitalism.
