Radio 4: "A Rage In Dalston" - post-war anti-fascists

[butchersapron]

Sure i'd posted this the other day - 90 minute talk/Q&A with the man himself:

Morris Beckman And Britain's Secret War

 

[Joe Reilly]

Got to be carfeul with Renton though mate - he's always looking for an angle to press home that the ANL/UAF method is the only non-elitist and effective anti-fascist srtrategy, despite it being pro-staus quo.

Renton's essay on anti-fascism in Against the Grain produced by Manchester University is so utterly bent, it is is impossible to critique. It is sloppy, inaccurate, and sectarian. Rather than bother to 'look for angles' he simply creates them. Nor does he confine himself to making stuff up; contrary facts are also deleted lest they should interfere with the desired political outcome.
Rather than merely being "careful" the fact is, nothing Renton writes on the issue of anti-fascism can be taken at face value.

Thanks for that. I'd missed his passing last month. Farewell skullcracker.

I've asked for a fresh upload.

Did you ever get the PDF of that expensive collection of essays a little while back? I may have missed it. Cheers.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Bit of a long shot but has anyone got a recording of the "Rage In Dalston" programme they can get me? It's not on Iplayer any more.

I upload something about every 4 years to Youtube and it's always comically bad how inept I am at it - get there in the end though.
