World Socialist Radio will return in autumn 2026 with a new series of live discussions with new releases every two weeks.

In the meantime, we present a discussion of the article "Helicopters over Helvellyn" from the July 2026 edition of the Socialist Standard.

In this episode, we discuss some everyday examples of voluntary cooperation and trust that demonstrate that human beings are naturally capable of working together without financial incentives.

World Socialist Radio is the official podcast of The Socialist Party of Great Britain. We have one single aim: the establishment of a society in which all productive resources – land, water, factories, transport, etc. – are taken into common ownership, and in which the sole motive for production is the fulfilment of human needs and wants.
