Breaking the Red Stereotype: Jeff Alabama on Socialism, Faith & Change in the Deep South

In this episode of Raised Red, Living Blue, we’re joined by Jeff Alabama — a viral TikTok creator with over 100K followers and a founding member of the Mobile Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

Jeff opens up about growing up in a working-class Alabama household, how his single mom shaped his values, and why he’s using his platform to challenge Southern stereotypes about politics, faith, and patriotism.

From confronting capitalism’s failures to redefining what it really means to be “pro-life,” this episode dives deep into the heart of change happening across the Deep South.

👉 What You’ll Hear:— The story behind Jeff’s political awakening— How faith and compassion align with socialist values— Why capitalism keeps working people divided— Lessons from Switzerland’s social democracy— The power of organizing people over money
