The Declaration of Independence was a radical act against a ruling class. But what happens when one aristocracy is simply replaced by another?

On this episode of Deep Dive, we re-examine the American Revolution through the lens of class struggle. We uncover how the nation’s founding was not only a political project but an economic one, designed to secure the interests of colonial landowners and merchants against British control.

Then, we turn that same lens on our world today. We ask: Are the grievances of colonial farmers and artisans echoed in the struggles of modern workers facing the immense power of multi-billionaires and corporations? Was the revolution just a blueprint, and is the real fight for equality still waiting to be won? If you’ve ever felt the system is rigged, this episode connects the dots from the 18th century to your doorstep.
