The far right is good at psuedo-radicalism, but at the end of the day, it's prepared to subordinate people to capital. It's not a systemic threat, even though it claims to be an anti-systemic force. Whereas the radical left, if it's able to connect the collective power of ordinary people, does pose a challenge to the economic system, and to the rule of capital.

Activist Kevin Ovenden discusses the work of building a left movement to challenge war, racism and the rule of capital - and why the left must confront not just a resurgent far right, but a political center that co-opts the language and energy of the left into policies that protect and empower war, racism and the rule of capital.
