m* speaks with Michael Karadjis, an academic at Western Sydney University and a fervent follower and activist on issues centering on the ongoing Syrian conflict. Michael believes events of Syria expose a contradiction within western lefty discourse, that is, a version providing a truthful account on what is happening in Syria and then one not so accurate.
The not-so one, both agree, gives another opportunity to talk more on the toxicity of the 'Tankie politics' phenomenon within lefty discourse and how this serves as a potential barrier towards true solidarity with Syrian peoples.
In other good news, its an episode where I barely talk about COVID-19 for once! Hooray!
