On the collective subject at the end of the End of History.

Panagiotis Sotiris, Historical Materialism editorial board member and assistant professor at the University of the Aegean, talks to Alex and Lee about class and the "national-popular".

• Is the way to recover popular sovereignty to "return" to the nation?

• Is there a contradiction between this and declaring oneself to be "in favour of open frontiers for migrants and refugees"?

• What is the meaning of citizenship in this case?

• What's the difference between Gramsci's conceptions of people-nation and nation-rhetoric?

• Does the radical right's "civilisational nationalism" offer the left an opportunity to reclaim a popular notion of nationhood?
