The Revolution is Back

Has the world gone to shit since we've been off air? Yeah, probably. Click here for an astoundingly thorough assessment of the Gaza atrocity by known other than the great Professor Chomsky.

So much to catch up on but most importantly we feature an in-depth interview with acclaimed author Raj Patel whose 'Stuffed and Starved' has been dubbed by Naomi Klein as 'a gift to a world hungering for Justice'. Patel delves into the foundations of the world food system and finds staggering levels of inequality, exploitation and imperialism. What about NZ? We're a good guy aren't we? Well you'll have check your nationalist myths at the door if you want to know the facts.
