We are still recovering from vacation and travel, so enjoy this premium episode from awhile back. Zohran Mamdani is now arguably the most politically successful socialist in American history, having won the mayoralty of New York City. So we've got longtime socialist organizer and DSA member David Duhalde back on the podcast to discuss his recent review of Organize or Burn: How New York Socialists Fight for Climate Survival, by Fabian Holt, as well as the overall state of DSA nationally under the second Trump regime.
This episode is a thought-provoking reflection on the current state of American politics and the rise of socialism among young Americans. The speaker shares a personal anecdote about a critical text message that got under their skin, which leads to a discussion on the importance of understanding the other side's perspective. They delve into the recent elections in Colorado, where a 29-year-old Democrat socialist won a seat in Congress, and explore the reasons behind the growing popularity of socialism among young Americans.The speaker argues that the issue is not about the ideology itself, but about the way it's being presented to the younger generation. They point out that the term "socialism" has been laundered, and many young people associate it with fairness and benefits, rather than the traditional understanding of government ownership of the means of production. The speaker also highlights the importance of understanding the historical context of socialism and its failures in other countries.The conversation touches on the idea that the grievance is real, but the prescription is wrong. The speaker suggests that the problem is not with the system, but with the way it's being implemented. They propose that the solution lies in defending free enterprise and private property rights, which are the cornerstones of American freedom. The speaker also emphasizes the importance of education and critical thinking in understanding the complexities of socialism.This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the current state of American politics and the rise of socialism. The speaker's unique perspective and insights offer a thought-provoking analysis of the issue, and provide a compelling argument for the importance of defending free enterprise and private property rights.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brian speaks with author and historian Aaron Leonard about his book "Menace of Our Time: The Long War Against American Communism.” Leonard's book is a riveting account of the extraordinary efforts by politicians. At the moment that the Trump White House is issuing Executive orders deeming people with anti-capitalist views as domestic terrorists it is important to learn about the history of anti-communist witchhunting in the United States during the past century.

“Zohran Mamdani pretends to speak for the oppressed—but he grew up in a $60k/year private school, went to an elite college, is the son of a Columbia professor and a (rich) famous film producer,” writes Eyal Yakoby. What happens to New York if a self-described “socialist” becomes mayor? Kari Lake, John Carney and Mark Eiglarsh take down the latest media and courtroom chaos, joined by Breitbart's John Carney to expose NYC mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani's privileged past despite his claims to speak for the oppressed – and why AOC still clings to her brand as a “Bronx girl” despite growing up in the suburbs miles away. “I'm proud of how I grew up and talk about it all the time,” Ocasio-Cortez clarified on X. “My mom cleaned houses and I helped. We cleaned tutors' homes in exchange for SAT prep… Growing up between the Bronx and Yorktown deeply shaped my views of inequality & it's a big reason I believe the things I do today!” Mark Eiglarsh is a veteran criminal defense attorney, former prosecutor, and adjunct law professor at Nova Southeastern University. He is also a media legal analyst and author of Be Happy By Choice. More at https://eiglarshlaw.com Kari Lake is a Senior Advisor for the U.S. Agency for Global Media.

EARLIER POTUS CONFRONTING THE COURTS: 1/8: Roosevelt Sweeps Nation: FDR's 1936 Landslide and the Triumph of the Liberal Ideal by David Pietrusza (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Roosevelt-Sweeps-Nation-Landslide-Triumph/dp/1635767776 Award-winning historian David Pietrusza boldly steers clear of the pat narrative regarding Franklin Roosevelt's unprecedented 1936 re-election landslide, weaving an enormously more intricate, ever more surprising tale of a polarized nation; of America's most complex, calculating, and politically successful president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, at the very top of his Machiavellian game; and the unlocking of the puzzle of how our society, our politics, and our parties fitfully reinvented themselves. With in-depth examinations of rabble-rousing Democratic US Senator Huey Long and his assassination before he was able to challenge FDR in '36; powerful, but widely hated, newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst, who blasted FDR's “Raw Deal”; wildly popular, radical radio commentator Father Coughlin; the steamrolled passage of Social Security and backlash against it; the era's racism and anti-Semitism; American Socialism and Communism; and a Supreme Court seemingly bent on dismantling the New Deal altogether, Roosevelt Sweeps Nation is a vivid portrait of a dynamic Depression-Era America. 1924 FDR NOMINATING SPEECH FOR AL SMITH
