Ash Sarkar, tutor at current Temporary Programme Shadow Channel (2017-2019), was interviewed by The Guardian about her appearance on Good Morning, where she confronted presenter Piers Morgan while discussing the Stop Trump March.
Did Morgan boost your cause?
He’s accidentally rehabilitated communism. Comrade Morgan, the People’s Commissar For the Execution of Revolutionary Justice. I just wanted to discuss Trump’s despicable politics and the importance of rejecting bigotry. I didn’t realise that the next day I’d be doing an interview with Teen Vogue about Karl Marx’s Grundrisse [laughs]. Lots of us have been plugging away, building a platform to talk about libertarian communism and post-scarcity economics. I never expected it to have a cultural moment like this.
