/402/ Revolution and Conservatism, e.g. in Mexico ft. Roger Lancaster (Patreon)

On President AMLO and rebuilding the working class.

[Patreon Exclusive]

We continue our discussion with anthropologist Roger Lancaster who has lived and researched in Mexico for decades, on the past and present of Mexican radicalism.

• How has popular conservatism served as a boost for radicalism and revolution 

• Is there any basis for a 'romantic' anti-capitalism, in Mexico, or in the Global North?

• Is President AMLO synthesising a new politics? 

• Has he “ended neoliberalism” or on the way to it?

• How socially conservative is AMLO really?
