Aaron Bastani sat down with Novara Media’s own Ash Sarkar, to celebrate the paperback release of her bestselling book, Minority Rule. ‘Minority rule’ is the term Ash used to describe the irrational fear that minorities are trying to overturn and oppress majority populations. She revealed how minority elites rule majorities by creating the culture wars that have taken over our politics, stoking fear and panic in our media landscape.
Together before a live audience at EartH Hackney, Ash and Aaron dug into the question of what has changed since the book was published. What can be learned from Zohran Mamdani’s win in New York? Does the left hate Britain? What do we need to do, in order to establish a ‘majority rule’? And is there such a thing as a middle-class dog?

We have the wrong people in charge at every level, and the left is no exception. We need popular reform. It’s not hard to understand. I find it telling in the west we have almost zero white popular reformers, all killed in the cradle by the establishment parties that seem ignorant of the far right being on the cusp of sezing absolute power running as the only (fake) popular reform party.
There is no getting through to the mainstream parties. Even arguing to take control of them could get you cancelled off social media. We need to organize, but the fediverse is so far a lousy place to do it, moderators and administrators imperiously acting like silicon valley themselves in their moderation, without a fair system of rules with appeals that end in a jury trial of users, things needed to establish the trust to supplant these silicon valley parasites.
