Right-wing nationalism opposes refugees, immigrants and outsiders and is arguably the fundamental feature that defines modern right-wing western political parties and movements. So why is the left trying to copy them?

David Adler from Diem25 joins me to explain the rise of left-wing nationalism in places like Germany and France, why these leaders are embracing it, why it’s wrong and how it ignores the very traditions left-wing movements were founded upon.

We also discuss why we must focus on taking control of international institutions if a progressive agenda is to be successful.
