On Mexico's elections.
[Patreon Exclusive]
Mexico goes to the polls this Sunday with the ruling centre-left MORENA party holding a commanding lead. Anthropologist Roger Lancaster joins us to preview the election and look at outgoing President AMLO's record.
What are the stakes in this election?
Has Mexico bucked the trend of class realignment? Where is the 'Brahmin Left'?
What is "republican austerity" and has this actually combatted corruption?
What do make of AMLO's use of the military? Militarising public life or domesticating the military?
What has AMLO done for the working class? And what might it do for itself?
What is AMLO's populism and has he rekindled class consciousness?
