Summary

Journalist Jacob Hamburger examines the present state and future choices of France's left wing insurgent movement La France Insoumise - rebelling against the failures of France's mainstream socialist party and the successes of its center right neoliberal president, and wavering between chasing populist energy and uniting a splintered French left. After the interview, we hear Renaldo Migaldi's handpicked "The Worst of Rotten History." Jacob wrote the article Whose Populism? The Mixed Messages of La France Insoumise for Dissent: https://www.dissentmagazine.org/article/whose-populism-mixed-messages-france-insoumise-melenchon-left/ Help keep This Is Hell! completely listener supported and access bonus episodes by subscribing to our Patreon: www.patreon.com/thisishell
