. Hello and welcome to another episode of Politics Theory Other, a podcast from Tribute magazine.

My name is Alex Doherty and my guest today is Leo Panich.

We spoke about his recent article in the latest edition of Tribune on Ralph Miliband and his

classic book, The State in Capitalist Society, which was published 50 years ago.

We chatted about the significance of the book, how Miliband conceived of the state,

the accusations of instrumentalism made by some

of the books Marxist critics, and its relevance to the Corbyn project. Today's show is brought to you by

PTO supporters on Patreon and also by Verso Books, which has loads of brilliant left-wing titles

that might be of interest to PTO listeners. One that you might like to check out

is fully automated luxury communism by Aaron Bustani, a manifesto for a different kind of politics,

for a new kind of society, beyond work, scarcity and capitalism. You can find out more about the book
