Patriots In Control (Patreon)

In this episode we begin with a self criticism of former positions taken on earlier versions of this podcast with relation to questions of patriotism, nationalism and how the class nature of the state can change the nature of these concepts.  We then go on to consider how patriotism is to be changed into a positive concept under socialism and how capitalism takes our noble impulses towards heroism, collective action and self sacrifice and distorts them.
