Socialist elected to council with Jorge Jorquera

<p>Victorian Socialists member and friend of Red Flag Radio Jorge Jorquera has just won a seat on Maribyrnong Council in the west of Melbourne. Jorge talks to Roz and Liam about why he decided to run as a candidate for council and how the Victorian Socialists organised a campaign during a pandemic. We explore the challenge of connecting local issues with global politics and what it might mean to be a revolutionary socialist and councillor.</p> <p>Follow Jorge on Facebook - <a href='https://www.facebook.com/jorgevicsoc'>https://www.facebook.com/jorgevicsoc</a></p> <p>Find out more about the Victorian Socialists - <a href='https://www.victoriansocialists.org.au/'>https://www.victoriansocialists.org.au/</a></p> <p>Support Red Flag Radio on Patreon: </p> <p><a href='https://www.patreon.com/redflagradiopodcast'>https://www.patreon.com/redflagradiopodcast</a>  </p> <p>Subscribe to Red Flag newspaper: </p> <p>https://subscribe.redflag.org.au/ </p> <p>Contact the show: </p> <p><a href='mailto:redflagradiopodcast@gmail.com'>redflagradiopodcast@gmail.com</a> </p> <p>Hosted by Roz Ward.
