2024 has been a life changing year of rage, grief and campaigning over the horrors in Palestine. There have been few moments of joy but the highlight was definitely going to Camden to canvass for Andrew Feinstein against Starmer. Such a positive people powered campaign. This is a really great interview
Great guest , very wise and experienced. Andrew Feinstein would make a great PM. Alexei for his Defence minister, Talal can head up media and foreign relations 👍
Thanks Alexei for this superb political conversation with Andrew Feinstein who understands so much about grassroots and community organisation and how absolutely imperative this will be in the period ahead. Solidarity with ethical politicians and artists everywhere.✊
Much as we all love Alexei, my sister (in London) and I (in Scotland) kept calling for Andrew to stand against Starmer right from the moment the idea of a challenge was put forward. He was in no way a fall back candidate. If only there had been more time to persuade people they didn’t need to vote Labour to get rid of the Tories Andrew could have won
Excellent interview, I could listen to Andrew for hours. Such a wealth of knowledge, honesty, humility and life experience. Its good to know the attitude and spirit of the Great Nelson Mandela lives on✊️in Andrew. Well done Alexei and Talal for putting this together.
Politics (from Ancient Greek πολιτικά (politiká) 'affairs of the cities') is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of status or resources. Oh it did.😂. Thank you both for the reminder
Andrew Feinstein cutting Starmer's vote in half on election night gave me hope in a dark time! I hope he stands again at the next election, or someone else who take on Labour from the left.
Great convo lads. I love your holistic analysis of history. I also love your positive analysis of what to do next. Especially refreshing is the placement of your white male selves far back behind the front line. Would follow you both wherever
It'd be awesome to hear Alexei interview Dr Michael Hudson as the paradigm he presents would reign in the freeloading rentiers, He has a 4 minute Utube essay titled 4. Rent presented by the Renegade Economist
Hudson is brilliant - a brilliant economist, and a true socialist. (BTW, his dad was a communist trade union leader in Minnesota during the Great Depression.) Always good to listen to.

Michael Hudson is fascinating. "...and forgive them their debts" ties his work up with the bible. Sounds whacky but that book and Graeber's debt book turned the bible from a tool of oppression to a secret revolutionary manifesto for me. I'm not religious in the least, but I felt like these book revealed to me the point of religion. It took me an age to read but the debt book especially was amazing.
18:05 - It's not an inevitability, it has happen. The devastation comes directly from a paranoia about it. Comrades! Under Alexei the weather will be (is) better!
Fein. stein Two syllables that are spelled the same way. In words that come from the German, when two vowels are together, the second vowel is sounded. Fine Stine. Einstein Not steen.
Great content, as always! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Ahh ok. Entirely understandable I guess. Apologies for swearing at Alexi like we are friends. I was momentarily caught in a parasocial fugue state. It only just occurred to me that you guys might have to filter for some really appalling abuse. About the only thing I'd repeat from the comment is to look up #thetrashies and Samantha Asumadu. It's an event that bears telling people about.
Have a look at the Dua Lipa produced and presented documentary series on Camden: it's perfect if you're looking for multiple new reasons to despise the human race. I made it as far as the first appearance of Mark Ronson.
Feinstein would do well to remember that he's running to be a representative of the British public first and make that his primary focus. The war machine is the number 1 problem in the world for sure, but beyond the fact that it's a monumental crusade that will last for decades if not centuries, the call for the crusade itself will do little to help the price of fish. You have to get the people behind you first.
Don’t wait for leaders, look to lead. Bring your communities together, fight fascism, corporate greed, take back the power and change the future.

Sign me up 🤓
‘A former human rights lawyer without a shred of humanity’!!! 💯
A most admirable and principled guest. How different our governance would be if we had a Parliament filled with people with this kind of integrity.
Thanks Alexei for this superb political conversation with Andrew Feinstein who understands so much about grassroots and community organisation and how absolutely imperative this will be in the period ahead.
Solidarity with ethical politicians and artists everywhere.✊
another hour well spent. Thank you and see you next week hopefully. peace & love

Same! Always the obvious choice
What a refreshing hour of conversation! Really makes you feel some hope for the future in these dark times

Such a great discussion especially Andrew being so candid about south africa
Powerful stuff.. learned a lot.. thank you!
I loved this I could listen to you guys for ever two of my favorite people together
I was totally convinced you would have won. Very sad when you didn’t! Voted green here in Bristol. Barb
Wow.
If politics started by helping people.
What a world this could be...

Looking forward to this!❤
Thanks for posting this, really informative. Normally listen on the podcast so thought I’d try this new tangled RUclips thing.

Exactly Starmer was a human rights lawyer who doesn’t seem to have a smidgin of humanity.
Also Labour politicians sense of entitlement reaks!
Sayle means flood in Persian, it’s a cool name
Alex get your arse into gear you can bring down Sir Kiddy Starver
Great convo lads.
I love your holistic analysis of history.
I also love your positive analysis of what to do next.

Would follow you both wherever

Powerhouse.
this guy is very interesting. putting his head above the parapet.
Excellent point about Starmer blatant avarice
I say this mainly because of the floor of the room. that would be very cold in the UK
looks like Alexei & Andrew are in Alexei's house in Spain. Looks very Spanish interior.
Wooden floor and UK power sockets… my money is on UK.
@jezstevens yes it's the UK, but that floor doesn't look wooden
White god on the wall.
I think Alexei would like to interview me. I am very interesting.
Fein. stein

i like the 65 on Alexei's lips
it is revealed that they are in London. big stone floor, small red rug

for some reason , including my Spanish ex , love to come to Camden market. What a terrible experience. I wouldn't "live" in London if you paid me.
Camden Lock market was genuine and interesting before it was monetised, rebuilt and disneyfied.
Have a look at the Dua Lipa produced and presented documentary series on Camden: it's perfect if you're looking for multiple new reasons to despise the human race. I made it as far as the first appearance of Mark Ronson.
is Alexei an ale drinker? looks like he's developing a beer mound.

The war machine is the number 1 problem in the world for sure, but beyond the fact that it's a monumental crusade that will last for decades if not centuries, the call for the crusade itself will do little to help the price of fish.
You have to get the people behind you first.
Andrew Feinstein needs to move to Granada.
