Culture war ‘Marxism’: The Revolutionary Communist Party diaspora and the Conservative Party
Morgan Jones pages 65-73
Abstract
The influence of alumni of the Revolutionary Communist Party– especially that of Boris Johnson’s former adviser Munira Mirza – upon the Conservative leadership has been much remarked upon in recent years. Rather than an unlikely alliance brought together by the Brexit campaign, however, this relationship has deeper roots within the Conservative intellectual ecosystem. If the Conservatives have often lacked ideas beyond the will to power, the RCP has never lacked for ideas. Nevertheless, the post-Brexit political landscape has created a greater degree of alignment between the two.
