On the whatever decade.

People are turning back to reinterpret the 1990s. Clearly, they were peak End of History years. But does that mean that no politics actually happened? If it's the period of the cultural turn, does that mean we should seek to understand that decade culturally?

And what are the political consequences of how we interpret the 1990s?

For what it's worth, I knew a number of anarcho anti-globalization activists in the 90s who read both Z Magazine and Behold a Pale Horse and who had a thing for the Rothschild family.

I was growing increasingly unhappy with the takes in this episode when Alex dropped the brilliant comment – ‘It’s the tail end and the very end of the 1960s.’ This is spot on, as the left politics that I encountered in that era was dominated by people who had been active in the 1966-71 period or people like me, their little brothers and sisters, who took up politics later in the 1970s. We were actually heartened by the electoral outcomes in 1992 and 1997, although we were later to be de-bagged. We had a sense that these could have been the first steps on the road to turning back the Reagan/Thatcher policy regime. Of course, it didn't turn out that way, because history had ended, but we didn't know that at the time.
