Can I Borrow You For A Minute? UK MP Zarah Sultana on Trans-Atlantic Anti-imperialism
What does international solidarity mean in practice? In this interview, recorded at Progressive International’s “Nuestra América” conference in Bogotá, Kurt Hackbarth speaks with Zarah Sultana, UK MP and co-founder of the incipient left-wing party Your Party. International connections, Sultana argues, must grow from the reality of our interconnected lives: while oppression may take different forms in different places, the same forces are behind attacks on democracy in Latin America and assaults on civil liberties in the global north. What is at stake, she reminds us, is the fundamental right to self-determination in the face of imperialism. Calling out the UK for acting as a “poodle” of US foreign policy, Sultana closes with a call for all voices to join the fight against fascism — from political parties to trade unions to social movements.
