The EU Left wants to rebuild community: "Talk about bupkes!" with Manus Carlisle

Bupkes for your ears! The press guy for The Left group in European Parliament talks about the European Union's "dire" moment and why the internet is not really real.

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.
