As Zohran Mamdani's rise reshapes New York politics, is democratic socialism becoming the Democratic Party's new base? Host Charles Fain Lehman sits down with Reihan Salam, Judge Glock, and John Ketcham to dissect the political and cultural currents pushing the party left—from Instagram primaries and “free stuff” populism to the ideological split between AOC and the Ezra Klein crowd. Along the way, they dig into anti-institutionalism, social media as a news engine, and the strange allure of David Goggins.

We saw that happen in real time when Dear Leader signed the MAGA Murder Budget into law. It's a major giveaway to the corporate class, such as providing tax write-offs for buying private planes.

Pat and Mr. Diaz discuss his agenda, how to reverse MAGA Republicanism, how to reverse neoliberal policies, and how Democrats can best reach the working class. They also talk about where Democrats fell short in Michigan, and how he'll convince voters that Democratic Socialism serves all people. 44:01-50:00: Last Call-Populism Wins The "Last Call" argues how Americans are in a populist move, but while MAGA Republicans offer fake-populism, Democratic Party leaders and consultants refuse to back populist economic policies.  50:01-52:54: Ending/Tigers Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES:

What it means to be a Democratic Socialist. Ko-Thi Dance Company's efforts to raise money after losing federal funding. A new series called Cinematic Sisterhood expands the influence of women in film.

It is 2025. Alligator Alcatraz is open for business. The Trump tax cuts appear to be on their way to being made permanent. Donald Trump is still fighting against the establishment in the D.C. swamp, as well as the lawless, lower federal courts. Common sense and the Constitution have generally prevailed in the Supreme Court, with decisions typically coming in at six to three. And yet, pride in being an American is at an all-time low, especially among people who identify as Democrats.Today, the day before Independence Day, 2025, I will discuss the topics of why some are not proud of America in this moment, why they should be, what they should do if they are not, and what the rest of 2025 is expected to look like politically with a group of regularly returning guests.Becky Noble, a journalist at Red State and her substack Gumshoe Politics; Matt Fitzgibbons, historian, musician, and publisher of Patriot Music .com; Amy Holem of Aimee's Audios Subliminal Acoustic Fingerprinting; and the host of FIREFOXNEWS ONLINE, George Sinzer.Become a supporter of Tapp into the Truth: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tapp-into-the-truth--556114/support Tapp into the Truth on Rumble.

Democratic Socialism has no singular definition, but the simplest way to describe it, academically, is an ideology, economic or political system, rooted in opposing capitalism's profit motive by shifting the power back to the people, through prioritizing workers instead of the corporations themselves. People > Profits. That said, there can be a lot of descriptions which can lead to a lot of confusion. Today, we're digging into the spectrum of definitions and how it relates to our current context.

The problem is, people aren't talking about the same things when they refer to socialism. Most people define socialism differently - but there is a definition (albeit broad) that we can and should all learn together, so we aren't reading to people who aren't even close to the same page.

On The Morning News Express, Bob Miller and Chris Michaels sounded off on Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani — the likely Democratic candidate for New York City Mayor. His platform? Free housing. Free healthcare. Free transit. Free everything. Bob and Chris? Absolutely not.They both tore into the idea, calling it unrealistic and unsustainable — and they didn’t hold back.

Democratic socialism in the United States has been maligned since before I was born. After WWII, there was the Cold War (which was a series of proxy wars that ended with the dissolution of the USSR in 1991) and since then, there has been a deliberate effort to associate any form of socialism with dictatorships and communism and tyrannical government overreach. But in reality most people I speak to are truly democratic socialists n the policies they'd like to see. And I know that sounds like a bold claim, and I don't want to pretend like it would solve everything for everyone, but right now - it makes perfect sense to me and anyone I've interacted with about this stuff, as the next step in the seismic systemic shifts that need to occur.

I feel like a lot of people expect propaganda to be on the nose. War posters, Uncle Sam pointing directly at you to recruit you for the war or directly glorifying it. But I am starting to notice how propaganda is becoming more and more insidious and targeted and effective. In an episode a long time ago, I remember talking about the concept of Dialectical thinking, which refers to the ability to hold space for multiple, contradictory truths at once. The ability to use multiple truths and perspectives to arrive at a more comprehensive understanding of things. But it is work. It may feel more intuitive for some people, but as I have come to realize, holding space for nuance and complexity in understanding something, is not a task every person is capable of doing.So, if we're talking about propaganda, and we are at the baseline of understanding that everything is political, I think it's important to call out that this means propaganda is in EVERYTHING we consume, whether it's in support of an ideology or a religion or control, it's it is rarely obvious and typically buried in things we love for other reasons.

Michael Smerconish sits down with veteran NYC political strategist Jordan Barowitz to unpack one of the most shocking political upsets in recent memory. How did Zohran Mamdani, a little-known democratic socialist, surge past establishment figures like Andrew Cuomo to become the likely next mayor of New York City? What does this mean for moderates, for the Democratic Party nationwide, and for the future governance of the most complex city in America? From social media wizardry to anti-Trump backlash, Barowitz breaks it all down—with sharp insights on ranked-choice voting, Eric Adams' prospects, and whether NYC is ready to be run by a movement, not a machine.

In a stunning upset, 33-year-old democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani clinched the Democratic primary for New York City's mayoral race, defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo, a centrist heavyweight backed by billionaire donors. Mamdani's victory, declared on June 24, 2025, after Cuomo conceded, marks a seismic shift in the city's politics, fueled by a progressive surge and ranked-choice voting. His grassroots campaign, emphasizing rent freezes, free public transit, and affordability, resonated with young and marginalized voters, drawing endorsements from figures like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Despite Cuomo's early lead and establishment support, including from Bill Clinton and Michael Bloomberg, Mamdani's momentum—bolstered by over $7 million from 16,000+ donors—overturned expectations.The race was volatile, with incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, indicted on corruption charges, opting to run as an independent after exiting the Democratic primary. Adams' unpopularity and the dismissal of his charges in April reshaped the contest, setting up a potential four-way general election in November against Mamdani, Republican Curtis Sliwa, and independent Jim Walden. Mamdani's lead in the primary, where over 1 million voted, signals a generational revolt against the Democratic old guard. His platform, rooted in social justice and affordability, could redefine New York's future, though his progressive stance may polarize voters in the general election. This upset underscores the city's appetite for change amid rising costs and political disillusionment.The DMZ America Podcast is recorded weekly by political cartoonists Ted Rall and Scott Stantis.

The rise of such proponents of black nationalism and black power as Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael was seated in deep frustration with the inability to change the fundamental economic conditions of blacks even with the passing of political protections to the vote and legal protections against discrimination. Moreover, there was deep seated opposition to police brutality which resulted in the creation of the Black Panther Party. Along with the rise of Black electoral politics which expressed many of the demands of previous black organization agendas like that of the Marcus's Garvey's UNIA, W.E.B. Du Bois's Niagara Movement, and the Black Panthers 10 point program, the rise of these black nationalist ideologues, cultural nationalism, and black power did not just contribute to creative movements of the future they also sought to regain political ownership of their community. However, even if many agreed on the need for a grassroots approach as a means of forcing political, legal, and economic change, black moderates such as Bayard Rustin felt black nationalism detracted from a unified and strategic effort to overcome inequities and inequality in America. The main nonviolent Civil Disobedience strategists insist that their approach in hindsight led to meaningful change especially as evidenced by the movements to desegregate Alabama in Selma, Montgomery, and Birmingham. Dr. King became much more radical after 1966 sympathizing with Democratic Socialism and a radical proposition called the revolution of values to overcome the evils of racism, militarisms, and racism. This shift in outlook was in many ways inspired by Malcolm X approbation towards capitalist exploitation of black communities. There was also a rise in black electoral politics seeking independent black politics that was person centered and sought to develop political consciousness to overcome the failure of an entrenched system of institutional racism and barriers to political and economic equality. The Marxist theorist Henry Winston was one of the first people to combine a critique of capitalist inequality undermining race relations with imperialist oppression in such places as South Africa. Like the many organizations and conferences of this periods there were not just strong criticisms of systemic racism, capitalism, and a call for essential rights like health, education, housing, and a decent paying job, there were movements towards a more revolutionary politics seated in the development of class consciousness. What would be witnessed in future periods 1975 to present is a rise in rainbow coalition movements under leaders like Jesse Jackson and Harold Washington paralleling the rise of a black bourgeoisie which would speak to many of the fundamental concerns of the African American community. However, impeccable orators like Louis Farrakhan, though not involved politically, would resonate with the masses due to his fundamental examination of race relations; rhetoric that would mirror that of many past leaders like Malcolm X. There would be an effort to create a social contract that would eventually manifest with the rise of President Barack Obama to the presidency in 2008; a man who would speak to the need for liberal progress, aspirational hope in a changing America, and a rhetoric which would transcend partisan bickering and racial animosity. He would not only lead America out of the worst recession since the Great Depression while speaking to the dangers of inequities in power politically and economically, but he would also provide an ambitious agenda that managed to lead America through an era of great technological advancement while also providing reassurance to the American people that their basic needs would be endorsed and enhanced by governmental support.Next: Contemporary era- 1975 to the Present Part 1 and Part 2

The host of “Deep Dives With Monica Perez” reintroduces us to the fascinating true story of the British Deep State's plan to subvert America from within through covert means in order to bring it back under the control of the Crown. How does the Milner-Fabian conspiracy fit into the plan for remaking America, and have people been fooled by the Fabian Society once again into supporting “Democratic Socialism” in the United States? It seems as if part of their master plan is working because America is certainly being destroyed from the inside through subversive culture, economic warfare, and social media. Just as the maniacs of the Roundtable hoped would happen.

In this episode, Oden interviews author and independent Marxist historian Doug Greene about his book "The New Reformism and the Revival of Karl Kautsky: Renegade's Revenge." They discuss how Kautsky's reformism led to repeated defeats, and why there is renewed — but misguided — interest in Kautskyism on the left. Importantly, Doug explains the relevance of Kautskyism to the present day, and why we need to leave Kautsky's ideas and politics in the dustbin of history if we're serious about fighting capitalism.  Learn More:- Why Kautsky Was Wrong (And Why You Should Care)- Karl Kautsky: From Pope to Renegade- An Introduction to the Kautsky Debate- Kautsky, Luxemburg, and Lenin in Light of the German RevolutionListen to our previous interviews with Doug on Michael Harrington and Democratic Socialism and on Stalinism, Anti-Communism, and the Fate of the Soviet UnionRead more of Doug's work: https://blanquist.blogspot.com/https://www.patreon.com/enaa_doug_blanquiFollow Doug on Twitter: @DougGreene1917 Check out Doug's book: https://www.routledge.com/The-New-Reformism-and-the-Revival-of-Karl-Kautsky-The-Renegades-Revenge/Greene/p/book/9781032758787Support this podcast on Patreon Follow us on social media!

Let's define democratic socialism and contrast it with Marxism-Leninism, state socialism, and social democracy. Let's further discusses the various economic models proposed by democratic socialists, including market socialism, democratic planning, and decentralized planning. We'll also explore the history of democratic socialism, its philosophical underpinnings, and the debate on the compatibility of democracy and socialism.

Writer and activist Helen Raleigh has paired up with Professor and economist Paul Prentice to provide “three counterpunches” to socialism. The first counterpunch is about defining our terms. What is Democratic Socialism? According to Helen and Paul, it is a oxymoronic term we simply made up to “soften” socialism. However, when they ask others what it means the typical response is sharing and caring, versus capitalism that is equated with greed. Through political, economic and personal examples, they show how government sharing, much like Democratic Socialism, is just another oxymoron. Following along with these ideas, their second counterpunch looks at the popular fallacy that many Nordic countries are thriving Democratic Socialist regimes. They are market capitalist countries with a heavy welfare system. The Nordic countries themselves use the term Social Democrat, which is a nuanced, but widely divergent term from Democratic Socialism. In their third counterpunch, they try to change the messaging around capitalism to highlight its more compassionate attributes. Through both personal stories of Helen's life in China and Paul's incisive economic perspective, when put side-by-side, “compassion” is more the domain of capitalist systems. In order to see this more clearly we have to disassociate true capitalism from other forms of capitalism, e.g., “crony capitalism” (another oxymoron), which is really just fascism in disguise. In the end, they conclude that the most important question is not one of partisan politics (e.g., left vs right), but one of human nature and which system fosters the “better angels” of our humanity.

Sometimes a logo tells you everything you need to know about an organization, and when it comes to the Fabian Society they clearly let the people know that they have hostile intentions in disguise, and intend to move slowly to achieve their goals. Formed as an organization to publicly push “Democratic Socialism”, their true intentions were much more devious and included an organized blueprint for a one-world government financed by some of the most Imperialistic ruling families of the time and organized by the so-called great thinkers of their era. This isn't some long-forgotten group that lives on in folklore, it is actually been rebranded as the British Labour Party and Democratic Socialists of America, led by the feeble-minded AOC. God help us all if these people achieve their plans for world domination.

Returning to the New Books Network is Doug Greene, here to discuss his book The New Reformism and the Revival of Karl Kautsky (Routledge, 2024). Split into three main parts, the book first surveys Kautsky's own life and thought, starting with his early interest in socialist politics and turn towards Marxism, followed by a slow but steady turn away from revolution and towards reform, believing parliamentary procedures were the best road to social transformation. The second part looks at the works of Rosa Luxemburg, Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky, all of whom offer critical responses to Kautsky's reformism, and the reassertion of the importance of revolutionary thought to any Marxist project. The third and final part looks at the contemporary works of Lars Lih, Eric Blanc and Mike Macnair and their attempts to make Kautsky's reformist practice the central pillar of the contemporary left. Throughout, Greene argues that the real lesson Kautsky offers is the dead-end of reformism to any revolutionary project. Some other relevant readings on this topic include Doug Greene | Why Kautsky Was Wrong (and Why You Should Care) Doug Greene | Why Kautsky Was Wrong (LeftVoice interview) Harrison Fluss | The Prophet Avec Lacan Douglas Greene is a historian in Boston. He is also the author of the books A Failure of Vision: Michael Harrington and the Limits of Democratic Socialism and Stalinism and the Dialectics of Saturn: Anticommunism, Marxism, and the Fate of the Soviet Union.

Briahna Joy Gray, former Bernie Sanders 2020 National Press Secretary and host of the “Bad Faith” podcast is back with her sharp political and legal insight about the politicization of the U.S. Supreme Court, Democratic Socialism, and whether Black America should be considering an alternative presidential choice.

Robert LeVertis Bell, Co-Chair of Louisville Democratic Socialists of America, Middle School English teacher, community activist and former candidate for political office joins host Ruth Newman (and later on, co-host Victoria Strange) to talk about Democratic Socialism -- what it means here in America as compared to Scandinavian countries whose multiple political parties tend to parse it further into Social Democracy and Socialism -- and what changes its proponents in this country would like to make to our political and economic systems.

In this remarkable broadcast, Michael Savage, known to millions of listeners over his 27-year radio career, delivers a fiery warning against the dangers of communism. Savage explains how progressives are decimating America and have abandoned the facts. Why is the Left targeting Elon Musk? Why Lenin's Pope is not a spiritual leader. We are living through Leninism with a tinge of Maoism. America is no longer a free market. Biden is ravaging the American economy and future prosperity. Why the rhetoric from the Left has become so dangerous as people have become alliterate. There is no such thing as Democratic Socialism. If Rabbi Mendel Futerfas and others survived the Gulag, we can and will survive the Biden Regime. He shares that the Orthodox community called him "a bridge between God and man." Well known for his stream of consciousness, Savage peppers his conversation with personal anecdotes, thoughts on the Thanksgiving holiday, and more!
