John Lawrence sits down with academic and activist Derek Wall to discuss climate change and Eco-socialism. In this wide ranging discussion, we cover Derek's work on Hugo Blanco and Eleanor Ostrom, as well as Marxism, Extinction Rebellion, extractive capitalism, indigenous struggles, worker's struggles, and base building.

The Lever Editorial Group member John Lawrence discusses the 'Base Building Tendency' with Journalist and Activist Max Zirngast. In the first episode of The Lever Podcast, we attempt to broaden the debate on base building which has emerged in the US in the last few years and is becoming important in the UK left as well. We discuss the recent Turkish Elections, Brexit, revolutionary situations and the potential for political and social revolution in our time.
