I read this Counterpunch interview with Mr. Bragg with alarm and concern.

Is this what we've been reduced to for our "protest singers" in both the US and Britain?

Are we really so blinded by a pathological hatred for "the enemy" (ie Tory, Conservative, Republican) that we can no longer find our way through the forest's trees to do what is right for our constituencies and the world, rather than what is most politically expedient in the moment?

Where did it all go so wrong?
