Marxists on Desert Island Discs

Karl Marx himself famously discussed Daniel Defoe's 'Robinson Crusoe' in a number of places, most usually to critique the likes of bourgeois political economists such as Adam Smith and David Ricardo who began everything theoretically with the rational atomised individual rather than understanding humans as social animals who have to co-operate together through work to survive. I am grateful therefore to Maps for alerting me to the online archive of BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, which has re-imagined the Robinson Crusoe scenario with a number of celebrities since the 1940s. A brief search through the 1,000 or so of the 'great and good' can be found a smattering of Marxists including Tariq Ali, Stuart Hall, Eric Hobsbawm, Michael Rosen and perhaps most remarkably EP Thompson. There are plenty of other lefties (and plenty more ex-lefties) who would doubtless also be worth a listen, including John Pilger, Tony Benn, Bill Morris, Joan Baez, Michael Foot, Glenda Jackson, Barbara Castle, Dennis Skinner, Raymond Postgate, Arthur Scargill, T Dan Smith...it is highly likely that my cursory search for socialists missed out some remarkable people so have a look for yourself...
