On this episode of The Exchange, we are joined by Sophie Johnson, secretary of Stop the War Scotland and a columnist for The National, to discuss the growing war fever in Europe and the case for opposing it.
Drawing on her recent column on Germany’s rapid rearmament, we look at the political arguments being used to sell a new military build-up, and where resistance to the war drive can come from.
We also ask how anti-war politics can connect with the everyday concerns of working class people to build an effective movement.
Why is the political establishment persuading people that we need to become “war ready”?
How can the anti-war movement build enough popular support to challenge the drive towards war in Scotland, Britain and across Europe?
How is the restructuring of the global system impacting the war drive in Europe?
What does the return of massive military spending tell us about the priorities of the capitalist system?
