Our second guest is Bryon C. Clark, Bryon is a video essayist, and oral historian. He has done extensive work on far-right groups in Aotearoa and is in the process of writing a book on the subject. "

Thanks David,

Yes, a good discussion. I think it needs more emphasis on the disenfranchisement of our neoliberal society. The emphasis on representative politics removes our agency, leaves concerned people with no avenues to play a role in fixing the ills of our world. Far right groups are quick to pick up those living in fear. Yes, progressive groups do good work around race and gender but there’s a big gap in economic areas.
