They discuss the changing nature of work in the UK and around the world, how these trends have been impacted by the pandemic, and whether it’s possible to imagine "good work" under capitalism.

Folge vom 15.06.2021Jacobin Radio w/ Suzi Weissman: A Surprise Win in Peru w/ Nicolas AllenSuzi speaks to Nicolas Allen of Jacobin America Latina about the June 6 nail-biter election in Peru. Socialist trade unionist Pedro Castillo, from an indigenous background, has won the presidency by less than 1%. His victory represents a devastating defeat for Peru’s populist neoliberal politics, represented by his rightwing opponent Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori – who sits in jail for corruption. Castillo’s campaign slogan was “No more poor people in a rich country.” The deeply unpopular Fujimori campaign resorted to relentless anti-communist scaremongering. We get Nicolas Allen’s explanation of the surprise result, situating the rejection of Fujimori in the larger context of the crisis of neoliberal rule, popular revolt, and the raging pandemic.
