YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBuy Evan's book
To commemorate the 87th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street, we are joined by historian Evan Smith to discuss his history of No Platform, a tactic central to the history of British antifascism, the history of the Marxist Left in the UK, and the ongoing debates round media and the limits of free speech today. We discuss the origins of No Platforming as one of a plurality of antifascist tactics, we dispel the mythologies around critiques of the tactic taken up by elements of the British Media, and we confront the history of contrarian free speech absolutism on the Left: the story of the Revolutionary Communist Party and its reactionary reinvention as the Spiked/LM Network.
