Here's a member's-only episode from last August 2018.Why are progressives bad at storytelling? Is there a way to harness left-wing nationalism that isn't xenophobic or insular? And is the left too concerned with definitions instead of winning?In this episode of Cable Street, I’m joined by professor Richard Sandbrook to discuss how progressives must harness nationalism and storytelling to win elections.I encourage everyone to listen to Episode 29 before or after this one. In it David Adler explains why the left shouldn't embrace insular-focused nationalism that shuts out outsiders. Richard's argument isn't to embrace xenophobic nationalism, but an inclusive nationalism to counter the right.
