Russia's invasion of Ukraine has sent waves of fear across Europe - even more so across the East of the continent. In this episode, we speak to Maciej Baron about Poland’s response to the conflict, what the Polish left would like our Western comrades to understand, and what demands we should be organising around. Maciej Baron is a Pole who lives in the UK. He is a member of the Razem party and runs a page in Polish on imperialism. He is also a founder of the Good Praxis - a digital studio based in London and one of 7000 registered cooperative businesses in the UK.
