On India's election and a blow for the BJP.

Esteemed writer and social activist Achin Vanaik is back on Bungacast to unpick India's monumental, seven-week-long electoral process in which over 600m people took part.

How did the ruling Hindu nationalist BJP lose its majority?
Is there really a cult of personality around Modi?
How does the BJP differ in important ways from Western 'national conservatives'?
Does the BJP losing seats reflect a loss of support for Hindutva ideology?
Modi claims India will reach developed economy status by 2047. Is this true?
How bad are problems of under- and un-employment, especially for the youth?
What is the nature of India's "crony oligarchy"?
How does the National Population Register threaten to divest people of citizenship?
How does the BJP see Israel as an example for itself?

On Embracing Alienation . Todd McGowan is back on the pod, talking to George and Alex about his book, Embracing Alienation: Why We Shouldn't Try To Find Ourselves . Why is alienation good actually? What does it give us? How is alienation related to subjectivity and freedom? What is the problem with anti-alienation politics of Left and Right? What happened to the 1960s concern with alienation, where did it go? Why is an embrace of the public realm, against therapy culture, the right response? What is the task of critical theory today?

[This contains only the interview on South Africa – for the full episode subscribe at patreon.com/bungacast ] Alex, George and Ryan Zickgraf round up events in Germany: first the elections, then US Vice-President JD Vance's speech to the Munich Security Conference where he called out Western elites' hypocrisy on liberalism and democracy. Then Alex speaks to Will Shoki, editor at Africa Is A Country , about what Musk wants from South Africa, why the global radical right has fixated on land reform in South Africa, and what is really at stake for South Africans. We round out by taking your questions and comments – and by welcoming in carnival by discussing drinking & socialising, and its anti-social enemies.

On Gramsci in the 21st century. [ Patreon Exclusive ] Sociologist Nathan Sperber and our own George Hoare talk to Alex H and Lee Jones about the new edition to their book, An Introduction to Antonio Gramsci: His Life, Thought and Legacy , which includes a new chapter on Gramsci's relevance to contemporary politics and events and a new section on Gramsci's influence on the New Right. We discuss: How does this book differ from other introductions to Gramsci? What is wrong with the post-Marxist, post-colonial or culturalist version of Gramsci? What are Gramsci's top 3 insights into politics? How has Gramsci been taken up by the political Right? How has Gramsci been used and abused by the Left? What to make of the post-Marxist radical democracy of Laclau and Mouffe ("left-populism")? Why is the concept of the "national-popular" that Gramsci takes from the Jacobins so important to rediscover?…

This episode, originally published in June 2024 only for subscribers, is crucial backdrop to this Sunday's (23 Feb 2025) snap elections in Germany. For more like this, join us at patreon.com/bungacast On German political derangement. Independent researcher and writer Gregor Baszak joins us to talk about German centrism being squeezed under pressure from both left and right — Sahra Wagenknecht and the AFD. Meanwhile the German economy is getting squeezed between the US and Russia, and NATO pressures Germany to up its defence spending. Is German public life remilitarising? What are the prospects for Sahra Wagenknecht’s new ‘left-conservative’ politics? What was the original political vision behind the Nordstream 2 pipeline? Why are Marine Le Pen and Giorgia Meloni trying to carve the AFD out of pan-European national-populist cooperation? Where does Germany now stand in relation to the Ukraine War?

/470/ Political Reaction to System Failure ft. Tim Pendry 1:34:25

منذ 21 يومًا1:34:25

1:34:25

On the world under Trump, and British responses. Tim Pendry, author of the Unstable Times substack, as well as an international affairs consultant, talks to Alex H and Lee Jones about the world under Trump II, the massive shifts underway, and his own policy work with the Workers Party of Britain. How has intra-bourgeois struggle shaped the past decades in politics? What is "American imperial nationalism (MAGA)" plus a "real-estate negotiation style"? Who are the winners & losers of a "rational" return to classical great-power, sphere-of-influence politics? Why are the UK's tensions and problems an extreme version of what may soon apply to any ostensible American ally? What is the Workers Party of Britain's pitch and strategy? Are the bulk of British people really "left on economics, right on culture", and how does the WPB try to appeal to workers? What are the practical challenges of building and organising a new party?

53:10

On European decline and inertia. [For full episode: patreon.com/bungacast ] Anton Jäger is back, talking to Alex and George about Belgium's new right-wing government, American hyperpolitics, and the lack of a European future. The radical right has prevailed in Belgium, despite having factors that should impede this, like higher union density, lower inequality and so on. Why? Why is the US particularly 'hyperpolitical'? Are those who say hyperpolitics is over correct? Why is Europe now a pale imitation of authoritarians in the East and the unbridled capitalism to its West? Is it Europe's capitalists – not its workers or pensioners – who are in need of strict market discipline?

11:07

On David Harvey's The Condition of Postmodernity (1989). [Patreon Exclusive - subscribe at patreon.com/bungacast ] We focus in particular on Part III: The Experience of Space and Time – and reflect on the general themes of this section. The central question is: How do we rescue a sense of ‘place’ – in a political, forward-looking and future-oriented way – after the age of globalisation? The age of globalisation generated and emphasised placelessness. But if oppositional struggles need to start from a definite place, where is that? And how do they not get restricted by that same sense of place – that is, not becoming particular, nostalgic or backward-looking? And if walls are now being put up, halting globalisation, then does this provide a more propitious scenario for struggle?…

On Syria, the fall of Assad, and nationalism in the Middle-East. [ Patreon Exclusive ] Historian Djene Bajalan talks to Alex about a major rearrangement in the Levant. We discuss: Who are Syria's new rulers HTS, and what is their vision – if any? Did geopolitics really determine the fall of Assad and the Ba'ath Party? How HTS's victory is so profoundly different from Islamism in Iran 1979 Why 2025 finally closes the book on the Arab Spring – and on secular Arab nationalism Were the Kurds wrong to rely on US protection? And in the full episode we continue by discussing... Is Turkey the big winner of the decade?

Will France, Britain and Germany double-down on the Ukraine war? 01:06:21 – Why is Luigi Mangione not understood as 'terrorism' while the Magdeburg Christmas market attack is?

Why is South Korea western capitalism's best propaganda tool? Did Yoon Suk Yeol want to institute a dictatorship? Did he want to militarise all of society, or only politics? How "unreconstructed" is the South Korean right? Do they dream of dicatorship? What was the Park Chung-hee regime of the 60s and 70s like? What is authoritarian developmentalism? Why did S.

On Trump's foreign policy, the 2nd time round. Historian and podcaster Daniel Bessner joins Alex Hochuli and contributing editor Lee Jones to ask how this era of rot and decay will proceed under Trump II, from Ukraine to China and beyond. We discuss: Will we see "America First transactionalism"? Does Trump have a capable cadre to bend the state to his will? What will Trump’s relationship be to the deep state? How important are generational splits in attitudes to the US empire? Will there be a peace deal in Ukraine? Where does that leave 'Atlanticism'? Is confrontation with China baked in? Is the Middle East the key to world peace?

On The Fall of Public Man . [ Patreon Exclusive ] We continue working through the 2024/25 syllabus and the first theme, The Future of Place. We ask is politics possible without a sense of place . Here we discuss chapter 13, "Community becomes uncivilised", and deal with listener questions. How does the changed relationship between public and private impact notions of community and of place? How does the maintenance of impersonal relations signify 'civility'? Is impersonality really the summation of all the worst evils of industrial capitalism? What is wrong with yearning for community, or specifically “love of the ghetto, especially the middle-class ghetto” How does "fratricide" become "logical" when people use intimate relations as a basis for social relations? Why is fratricide "system-maintaining"? Links: 2024/25 Bungacast Syllabus (with links to readings) Safe Space: Gay Neighborhood History and the Politics of Violence , Christina B.

On President Jimmy Carter's responsibility for neoliberalism. [ Patreon Exclusive ] Writer and historian Tim Barker talks to Alex Hochuli and contributing editor Alex Gourevitch about the former president's life and legacy. What do people get wrong about Carter? Was Carter, not Reagan, the start of neoliberalism? How is Carter's much-admired 'decency' of a piece with his neoliberalism? What is 'austerity' and how does it relate to questions of public and private, vice and virtue? What was the alternative to the neoliberal pivot in the late 1970s? How did the appointment of Fed chairman Volcker change the entire world? Did Carter set the script for the Democrats, of being 'noble losers' (but actually on the side of the winners)?

1:19:07

On radical conservatism and global order. Professor Michael C. Williams talks to George and Alex about his co-authored World of the Right and how the radical right has gone global. We discuss: Does academia takes the Right as seriously as it should? What's the difference between the radical right and the far right, the new right, national conservatives, or fascists? How is the right 'global' – not just through international conferences but by being "co-constituted by its relation to the global"? Why is the radical right focused on the global liberal managerial elite? What does it get right and what does it get wrong about this stratum? How did the radical right come to take Gramsci seriously? Is the radical right just parasitic on the breakdown of liberal universalism? What does this analysis of the radical right say about the Left – is it the force that protects the status quo of the liberal international order?

On Conclave . In our final episode of the year, we debate Edgar Berger's new film about a Papal election, featuring Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci as Cardinals and Isabella Rossellini as a nun. Is the film about an alien, abstruse process – the conclave – or is it about something familiar and earthly? Is the film about the sacred or the profane? About temporal or holy power? What does it say about process and neutrality, in times of lawfare and contested elections? ⁠Why is there so much film and TV about the Pope? What is it that appeals today about Papal authority? The film features a good liberal, a corrupt moderate, a nasty reactionary, a tainted idpol candiate (a homophobic African) – do these politics matter? Why so crude? ⁠Is it mere Oscar bait?…
