I found this interesting. I always thought Sarkar was leagues ahead of the rest of the Novara crowd and now I'm quite tempted to read her book! She's right to cite Lula as a model for the left - he's a... complicated guy, shall we say, but also one of the most successful leftist politicians in the world.

Not a high bar to clear, really.

Am currently reading the book, it’s a worthwhile read. And I already have a list of people I will recommend it to, because I think it will nudge them in the right direction politically.
