• The End of History - On Trade Unionism with Ben Peterson

  This episode of The End of History features a recording of one of the sessions from the second annual (2024) Aotearoa | New Zealand Federation of Socialist Societies Conference in in Wellington: Breaking the Consensus: The Need for a New Industrial Politics by Ben Peterson. Prevailing trends in left wing politics, Unite Union Organiser Ben Peterson argues, tend to relate to our current crises idealistically: through analysis, critique, and other forms of public discourse, in the hope that these interventions will stir political institutions into action. Instead, Ben argues that we need to focus on rebuilding a class politics and that trade unionism should be a crucial part of that effort.

• The End of History - On Hyperimperialism with Vijay Prashad

  This episode of The End of History features a recording of one of the sessions from theAotearoa | New Zealand Federation of Socialist Societies conference in Wellington. Hyperimperialism and the Ensnared World by Vijay Prashad. Why, asks renowned Indian historian and journalist Vijay Prashad, is the United States promoting wars and militarism around the world, when the world’s peoples simply want peace and development? Vijay Vijay’s presence at the conference was controversial given that some on the left accuse him of being a ‘tankie’, or someone who supports militant opposition to capitalism and is thereby uncritical of those political actors who challenge capitalism’s champions, for example the People’s Republic of China.
