What has capital done to us in order to fight off the threat of the oppressed? How can we take a historical materialist approach to understanding the shattering of working class militancy and subjectivity as a political force in the 20th century? What does it mean to be a proletarian in an age when many have much more to lose than their chains? 

Adam is joined by Jonas Patrick Marvin to discuss his book "The Breaking of the English Working Class", tracing how the contours of class in England were transformed through the eras of post-war social democracy, towards the ascendency of neoliberalism, and amidst the ruins and hinterlands in which we are organising today.
