The Left is under siege across the globe. Anti-NATO arguments are ridiculed as pro-Putin. The US military-industry nexus is rapidly extending to become a global military-industry-finance-media nexus. The Left in China, India, Turkey, Brazil and many other countries have been crushed or became complicit with authoritarianism. In Europe, progressive ideals that have enjoyed wide support since the end of World War Two are being seriously challenged. In this conversation, Ranabir Samaddar from India and Biao Xiang from China reflect on the shortcomings of the Western Left in their response to the Russia-Ukraine war, and argue that the international Left must take viewpoints from the Global South much more seriously
