Antifascism part 1: I predict a riot

This 2-part conversation brings together organisers in Manchester to discuss community organising as anti-fascist strategy.

In this episode we talk about the right wing riots of last summer, including the mass participation of young people, and the limitations of street counter protest in the fight against fascism. We reflect on the framing of far right narratives around material issues like housing, and the role of the state in the growth of fascist ideology. We discuss the story of England presented by the right, and countered by the real history of the working class population of England; one of exploitation, deportation, and divide and rule, at the hands of the British state.

With Jamil Keating from Greater Manchester Tenants Union, Zara Manoehoetoe from Kids of Colour and Harpurhey Neighbourhood Project, and Dale Johnson from Harpurhey Neighbourhood Project.
