Party Animals: growing up communist
Party Animals: Growing Up Communist @DAaronovitch in conversation with @CharlieBeckett #LSELitFest pic.twitter.com/phFQSsm1hE- Introducing @DAaronovitch, @CharlieBeckett recalls Major years when both worked at BBC 'when the nation was divided over Europe' #LSELitFest
- Growing up communist meant living at 90 degrees to society, at odds with all aspects of mainstream culture @DAaronovitch #LSELitFest
- Communism brought alternative world historiography - we knew what side to be on in every historical struggle @DAaronovitch #LSELitFest
- "Communism itself was a dead end and proved to be a dead end" #LSELitFest
- ''If you're embarrassed by something by and large you don't spend ages writing a book about it" @DAaronovitch on communist past #LSELitFest
- "If you say it's a historic dead end, that's not the same as saying anyone involved with it was a bastard" #LSELitFest
- "How did good people get into the situation of tolerating and supporting deaths?" #LSELitFest
"Party Animals: Growing Up Communist" talk with @DAaronovitch #LSELitFest pic.twitter.com/Q4w8FXvwtN- "I have a photograph of my late mother wearing a Swastika badge, this strange symbolism" "Not because she was a Buddhist?" #LSELitFest
- "If we're not going to believe in rational open discourse at LSE, might as well just turn it into a giant night club" #LSELitFest
- Communist childhood of @DAaronovitch similar to strict religious families: alt views of right/wrong, mtgs to reinforce beliefs #LSELitFest
- Everything was both personal and political: growing up communist meant entire identity of knowing & denial @DAaronovitch #LSELitFest
- @DAaronovitch attempts to see fidelity in others lives - ‘what people do what they do’ #LSELitFest
