In a wide-ranging conversation, The Bupkes sits down with the last person in Brussels in August. Manus Carlisle handles media relations for The Left, the European Parliament group that consists of leftist parties from across the European Union.
Manus takes stock of the state of European democracy and leftist responses to resurgent forms of nationalism, militarism, and moral panic. On a more cosmic level, he considers what Europe’s left can be in the historical absence of the Jewish thinking that informed so much of it.
