On this episode, I talk to Scott Ludlam. Scott is an ambassador with the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, a former Australian Greens senator for Western Australia and the author of Full Circle, a book that travels the world looking at the systems that have humanity in their teeth, and the ways ordinary people are standing up to them. In the interview we talk about the crises the world faces, the truly international nature of them and the necessity of an internationalist response. We talk about some movements for justice, past and present, and their successes and limitations. And we also talk about the capture of the Australian state by resource companies and the consequent necessity of taking our politics far beyond elections if we don’t want to see the planet burn.
