Can Socialism Ever Really Work? w/ Bhaskar Sunkara
My guest today is Bhaskar Sunkara. He’s the founding editor of Jacobin magazine and currently serves as president at The Nation. Bhaskar is a proud democratic socialist; he was even vice-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, and he’s the author of a book titled The Socialist Manifesto: The Case for Radical Politics in an Era of Extreme Inequality.
In this conversation, we dive into the practicality of democratic socialism. We talk about rent controls, the affordability crisis in American cities, and the real-world limits of the populist left. We also touch on identity, class politics, and the influence of New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. What do we all get wrong about his pitch to New Yorkers?
