The Ezra Klein ShowSocialism Is Supposed to Be a Working-Class Movement. Why Isn’t It?American socialists today find themselves in a tenuous position. Over the past decade, the left has become a powerful force in American politics. Bernie Sanders seriously contested two presidential primaries. Democratic socialists have won local, state and congressional races.

As a result, socialists have st...

What kind of polarization is actually necessary not to harm the left and erode democracy, but to support it? We could not have anticipated how timely this topic would become. A deeply radicalized right-wing group stormed the U.S. Capitol the following day. Whether this insurrection was a direct grab for power or a symbolic maneuver — which we discuss at the start of our second episode — it has brought the political themes of polarization, protecting democracy, and building durable political power...

Why Is This Happening? The Chris Hayes PodcastThe Case for Socialism with Bhaskar SunkaraLet’s talk about socialism. There’s a marked generational divide in the way people think about that word, what it means, and what it conjures. For those who were adults during the Cold War, socialism evokes something very different than those who came of age after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Now, there’s a growing part of the left that’s trying to make a case for socialism, inciting a definitional dispute about what it means and what it’s capable of.

Bereits 2010 hat er das sozialistische Magazin Jacobin gegründet. Damals war sozialistisch in den USA noch gefürchtet, heute gibt die Mehrheit der US-Jugendlichen zwischen 18-30 an, antikapitalistisch eingestellt zu sein. Was ist passiert? Wir haben Sunkara bei seinem Wien-Besuch im Kreisky Forum getroffen.

The Gray Area with Sean IllingWhy my politics are bad with Bhaskar SunkaraBhaskar Sunkara is the founder and publisher of Jacobin, a journal of “socialist perspectives on politics, economics, and culture.” He launched the publication in 2011 when he was an undergraduate at George Washington University. Today, its print edition has 40,000 subscribers and a million readers monthly online. Jacobin is at the vanguard of a resurgent American left that judges traditional liberalism as too weak and feckless for the times we live in and sees politics as fundamentally about class struggle. And Sunkara has been an able and interesting articulator of that view, as well as a longtime critic of mine. I want...
