Sirota show

Summary: For most of the last 50 years, the word “socialism” has been seen as an epithet in America. But now, democratic socialism seems to be an ascendant force in American politics. On this episode, I talk to Bhaskar Sunkara, the editor of Jacobin, which is one of the leading socialist media outlets. We discuss why the s-word is suddenly all the rage -- particularly among young people.
