Democratic Socialism has become increasingly popular among young people, in part thanks to Bernie Sanders, whose activist career can be traced back to his time as an undergraduate at the University of Chicago.

The term Democratic Socialism has been bandied about for years in the United States. But do you know what socialists actually believe? Boyd sat down with YouTube star and writer Ben Burgis about his vision for the country. They also discussed how to get back to debating ideas that matter and instead of canceling people over mistakes they made when they were 12.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Shia Kapos writes a great column for POLITICO Illinois Playbook about Democratic double standards. Ben riffs. And Miles Kampf-Lassin, editor/writer from In These Times, returns to talk about Democratic Socialism. Specifically, India Walton's loss in Buffalo. Has the Republican propaganda turned America against Socialism like they turned it against "political correctness" "woke" and "liberal"?

It's time to rekindle democratic socialism for a new path forward for Canada. Andrew Jackson joins to discuss his new book which lays out the arguments for a future that turns away from capitalism and towards replacement with something altogether different. About The Fire and the Ashes: Rekindling Democratic Socialism In The Fire and the Ashes, long-time union economist and policy analyst Andrew Jackson looks back on a fascinating career in the labour movement, the NDP, and left politics, combining keen historical analysis with a political manifesto for today. As one of the few trade union economists in Canada, Jackson brings a unique insider perspective and decades of experience to bear on his critical reflections on the history and changing fortunes of the NDP, the failures of neoliberalism, and the waning and recent renewal of the democratic socialist tradition. What plays out is a battle of ideas fought by Jackson and the wider left—one meant to rekindle both political veterans and a new generation of activists who believe that a true democracy cannot exist with great inequalities of wealth and political power, and that social ownership and public investment must be brought squarely into the mainstream. https://btlbooks.com/book/the-fire-and-the-ashes (Buy the book here) About Andrew Jackson Andrew Jackson is the Broadbent Institute's Senior Policy Advisor. In September, 2012 he retired from a long career as Chief Economist and Director of Social and Economic Policy with the Canadian Labour Congress. In 2011, he was awarded the Sefton Prize by the University of Toronto for his lifetime contributions to industrial relations. Educated at the University of British Columbia and the London School of Economics and Political Science, where he earned a B. Sc. and an M.Sc. in Economics, Andrew is the author of numerous articles and five books, including Work and Labour in Canada: Critical Issues, which is now in its second edition with Canadian Scholars Press.

India Walton shocked the political world and upset the establishment by running against and defeating a four-term incumbent Democratic Mayor of Buffalo this past June in the Democratic primary. She's a nurse, a union organizer, a single mother, and she will become the first socialist mayor of a major American city since 1960 if she wins the general election in November. The political establishment in Buffalo is not taking this lightly. So, while she should be coasting to a victory in November because Buffalo is overwhelmingly Democratic, she has a very difficult opponent, backed by Trump people – Byron Brown, the guy she just defeated in the primary. This is such an important race -- all the issues we are facing all over the country -- Covid-19, the police state, the prison industrial complex, economic inequality, climate, and sexual violence -- they all play a role in this race. And India Walton's a thoughtful and forceful candidate and leader we should get behind to take care of these issues that plague us all. Read India's recent piece in The Buffalo News about her five-point plan for a safe and healthy Buffalo: https://buffalonews.com/opinion/india-walton-my-five-point-plan-will-build-a-healthier-city-for-all/article_fe41ab3c-1c9b-11ec-b394-d79687261b09.html India was once executive director of the Fruit Belt Land Trust, a public project to fight gentrification and keep housing in the hands of the people.

Progressives have had a lot of legislative setbacks in Washington, D.C. lately.

Today on Sojourner Truth, our weekly roundtable. Our guests are Laura Carlsen, Jackie Goldberg, and Dr. Gerald Horne. The fight for the future of U.S. domestic policy. The Build Back Better Act. Bernie Sanders is not backing down from his push for spending $3.5 trillion. President Biden says the U.S. is at an inflection point and this investment is needed now. But Senator Manchin is in the way. So is the filibuster. Senator Manchin wants to cut the proposed Build Back Better Act figure in half. But that doesn't fly with Senator Sanders and other progressives. Democrats need a big win given the midterm elections in 2022. Some are saying that President Biden's Build Back Better Act is the largest social program proposed since FDR's New Deal. Is the Build Back Better Act a U.S. version of Democratic Socialism? As we mark the 10th anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, will conservatives on both sides of the aisle insist that the U.S. continue on the path of unfettered prioritization of the market over the care of people and the environment? Meanwhile, conservatives are complaining that jobs are not getting filled post-COVID. This, as some workers are refusing work that doesn't pay a living wage and is destructive to their bodies. Conservatives blame Biden's COVID relief subsidies that people are not taking jobs they don't want blame corporate greed. Lessons learned from the California Governor Recall Election. What do California Democrats prioritize now? What are the implications on the national scene? On U.S. foreign policy, is the influence of Washington waning? Recently alienating the EU, including France, and the U.S. seems to bypass traditional allies to cut a military deal with Australia and the U.K. against China. Europe, meanwhile, is trying to carve its own path in a post Angela Merkel era.

This is a summer rerun episode! Mark returns next week, and until then, we're taking a look back at some of the year's best episodes. What would it look like to engage in nonviolent direct action consistently, through strategic organizing? That's what Kai Newkirk (Founder of For All www.forallorg.us) and Rev. Stephen Green (Pastor, Scholar, and Activist) explain in today's episode, as they discuss the piece they co-authored, “Why Kingian democratic socialism is the best path forward for the progressive left.” This is especially relevant in the context of our current society where unarmed Black people continue to be murdered by police. They also dig into why we need statehood in D.C. in order to make winning Georgia actually count and see progress on reparations.

Pat interviews Former Portland Mayor Ethan Strimling (Mayor Strim) about People First Portland, Maine DSA, and his experience running a small city. Mayor Strim explains why Portland is so welcoming to immigrants, regardless of immigration status, and why welcoming immigrants has been to the benefit of the economy and the overall health of the city. While Portland is a Progressive city, the structure of the city government was directly affected by the Portland Chamber of Commerce and the Ku Klux Klan and xenophobia directed at Irish Catholic immigrants in the 1920s. Mayor Strim recounts the challenges he faced as mayor and the difficulty of being mayor in a city that has an unelected city manager who has executive power. When Mayor Strim left office, he engaged with Southern Maine DSA (Now Maine DSA) to work on electoral strategy. In concert with DSA and People First Portland, Mayor Strim helped get a slew of Progressive measures on the 2020 ballot: a local Green New Deal, a $15 an hour minimum wage, Rent Control, and a ban on Facial Surveillance technology. The ballot measure passed with an average of 60% of the vote. In the open, Dan, CMoney, and Pat discuss this type of direct democracy, some quirks of Portland politics, NIMBYism, and the Universal Pre-K that is included in Biden's American Families Plan, which has yet to pass both houses of Congress. A slightly new format is used in this episode, with no interview debrief.

On Tuesday, House belittled the rights of transgender people and condemned Democratic Socialism. They even had a bill allowing prayer at high school championship games. It was one of those days in the fun House. Also, on today’s Sunrise: — Gov. Ron DeSantis suspends Johnson & Johnson vaccines after the feds call for a pause to investigate a handful of cases where people developed blood clots. But DeSantis still has faith in J&J. — Nearly half a million Floridians have already received a J&J vaccination … including the Governor. — Now that the breach at the Piney Point phosphate pond in Manatee County has been sealed, DeSantis says it's time to end this threat to the environment for the last time. The Governor ordered Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Noah Valenstein to close it down and clean it up and take legal action against HRK Holdings — the hedge fund that owns Piney Point. — The Mayor of Key West travels to Tallahassee to ask the Governor for protection from mega cruise ships. Renowned fishing guide William Benson says most ships are fine, but the big ones can do serious damage. — And finally, a Florida Woman is accused of threatening to kill the Vice President because she's not black.

 Surely, Socialists are wrong about everything, right?! Not always. How should we respond when Socialists make a good point, such as the need to care for the poor? Is there a Biblical model for this? Let's look at what God says and how we should be careful to listen and respond Biblically to arguments made for Socialism. You might just end up buying lunch for a socialist...and giving them the Gospel while you do it!This is part 3 of a 3 part series taught at my local church's young adults Sunday School.  Find more at www.theologyonfire.org

Ch. 2: Astra Taylor on Socialism, Democracy and Liberalism - Jacobin Radio The Dig with Daniel Denvir - Air Date 7-5-19 Socialism has grown a lot because of demonization. The Left has a war to lose - left policies are the direction of progress and the world is leaning that way - but without proper education and fighting it will take a lot longer. Ch. 3: Democratic Socialists and President Bernie with Meagan Day - This Is Hell with Chuck Mertz - Air Date 3-13-19 In the long run, democratic socialism wants to end capitalism - to empower working people. It's not just New Deal liberals - its pushing further. Massive momentum is on the Democratic Socialist side and collective action will win. Ch. 4: David Harvey On The Limits of Social Democracy and of the Welfare State - The Real News - Air Date 7-8-19 The main alternative to neoliberalism is the proposed renewal of social democracy, such as in the form of Bernie Sanders' proposals. But to move forward we need to discuss the limits of a welfare state that ultimately does not change class relations Ch. 5: Why Bernie Talks About the New Deal with Seth Ackerman - Jacobin Radio - The Vast Majority with Micah Uetricht - Air Date 6-25-19 Was the New Deal socialist?

Ch. 6: Democratic Socialism and How We Can Get There with Richard Wolff - The Zero Hour with RJ Eskow - Air Date 6-15-19 Bernie's solutions, while admirable and helpful, are merely reforms of a fundamentally broken and contradictory system.

Ch. 7: Bhaskar Sunkara on the possibilities of socialism in America - This is Hell - Air Date 5-21-19 Bhaskar Sunkara explores a path to socialism in America - as capitalism collapses and pulls politics towards the right, the promise of a worker-driven, democratic society built on equality and justice can be won by a broad, working-class movement Ch. 8: Bernie Sanders Speech Connects Democratic Socialism with the New Deal - The Michael Brooks Show - Air Date 6-22-19 Bernie is calling out the massive power disparities in the US and what policies we can work towards - an Economic Bill of Rights.

Join Haymarket Books, Jacobin, and the Debt Collective for a discussion of how to build the movement for debt abolition! ---------------------------------------------------- Emboldened by the election of Joe Biden and the continued crisis brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Debt Collective has renewed its call for the new president to cancel all student debt during his first 100 days in office. Debtors have been mocked, scolded and lied to for decades. We have been told that it is perfectly normal to go into debt to get medical care, to go to school, or even to pay for our own incarceration. We've been told there is no way to change an economy that pushes the majority of people into debt while a small minority hoard wealth and power. The coronavirus pandemic has revealed that mass indebtedness and extreme inequality are a political choice. In the early days of the crisis, elected officials drew up plans to spend trillions of dollars. The only question was: where would the money go and who would benefit from the bailout? The truth is that there has never been a lack of money for things like housing, education and health care. Millions of people never needed to be forced into debt for those things in the first place. Armed with this knowledge, a militant debtors movement has the potential to rewrite the contract and assure that no one has to mortgage their future to survive. Debtors of the World Must Unite. As isolated individuals, debtors have little influence. But as a bloc, we can leverage our debts and devise new tactics to challenge the corporate creditor class and help win reparative, universal public goods. Individually, our debts overwhelm us. But together, our debts can make us powerful. ---------------------------------------------------- Speakers: Hannah Appel is a Professor of Anthropology and Global Studies at UCLA and a political organizer. She is the author, most recently, of The Licit Life of Capitalism: US Oil in Equatorial Guinea, and serves as the Associate Director of the UCLA Luskin Institute on Inequality and Democracy, where she leads the Future of Finance research stream. She is co-founder of the Debt Collective, a union for debtors, and a writers bloc member for Can't Pay, Won't Pay: The Case for Economic Disobedience and Debt Abolition.

A conversation about why capitalism has failed and how we can fight for an economy, and society, that works for the 99%. ---------------------------------------------------- Join writers and socialists Hadas Thier and Meagan Day for a conversation about the unfolding global economic and health crises and the importance of arming a new generation of activists and organizers with the tools of Marxist economics. The Covid-19 pandemic and attendant economic meltdown expose capitalism's failures more clearly than ever, and make evident the pressing need for an alternative way of understanding, and organizing, society. Thier and Day will discuss how profound inequality has determined the impacts of the health crisis, the inadequacy of free market solutions to the problems we face, the Marxist theory of economic crisis, and more. This event is a book launch for Hadas Thier's A People's Guide to Capitalism: An Introduction to Marxist Economics, a lively, accessible, and timely guide to Capitalism for those who want to understand and dismantle the world of the 1%.

It can be shocking to hear that someone who claims to follow Christ also supports Socialism/Marxism. So, why do Progressive Christians support socialism and what are the basic tenets of Progressive Christianity? More than any political party, Progressive Christians may provide an even harder challenge to those who faithfully follow Jesus, due to their isolation and twisting of scripture. Find out the basics of this movement and stand firm in your faith. This is part 2 of a 3 part series taught at my local church's young adults Sunday School. For a more detailed analysis of Progressive Christianity, be sure to check out The Alisa Childers Podcast and specifically the Progressive Christianity series created by Alisa Childers and Mike Winger.Find more at www.theologyonfire.org

If anyone knows just how much socialism (yes, even “democratic socialism”) SUCKS, it's Venezuela.

Let's review the modern American Socialist movement through a Biblical lens. Socialism is much more than just economics and politics; it is an entire worldview whose very foundational assumptions must be scrutinized against scripture. This is part 1 of a 3 part series*, and while I certainly do not cover all possible points, it provides a basic understanding which I pray will be of value. Feel free to share with your youth group, young adults, or anyone else who may be helped by it. For a discussion on race, racism, discrimination, and intersectionality (which I did not attempt to cover in this brief teaching) please see the following video by Mike Winger and Neil Shenvi.*This is a series I taught to the Young Adults Sunday School at my local church (First New Testament Church)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHvJx-rBYKoFind more at www.theologyonfire.org

In this episode Justin takes a closer look at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Eugene Debs, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt to get a better sense for how their politics and potential Democratic Socialisms are connected.

Dr. Mythili Ramakrishna Bhat visited with Politics Done Right to discuss the terrible state of healthcare in Mississippi and the Red State.

Venezuelan expatriate turned free-market economist Daniel Di Martino joins the show to explain how socialism ruined his home country and forever altered his life trajectory. He explains how widespread nationalization of private industry, massive government spending, and money-printing led to runaway inflation that destroyed the economy. Could this really ever happen in America? And what, if any, are the differences between the "democratic socialism" being advanced here in the U.S. by the likes of Senator Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the movement that led to Venezuela's downfall? Plus, we discuss Daniel's experience as a successful legal immigrant to the United States, as well as what the anti-immigration Right fails to understand about the social and economic benefits of legal immigration to the U.S. We wrap up with Daniel's hot take on Nutella, of all foods.

A podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world. Hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage. Before he became a conservative warrior, John Rambo was just a mixed-up vet. We're joined by Jacobin deputy editor Micah Uetricht to parse the ambiguous politics of FIRST BLOOD (1982), where Sylvester Stallone is just as frazzled by right-wing cops as he is by left-wing protestors. We also situate the film among other Vietnam War movies, and compare the Vietnam canon to Iraq War cinema. PLUS: Luke has been reading Obama's autobiography and has some thoughts.Check out Micah's podcast The Vast Majority - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-vast-majority/id1462787412Check out Bigger Than Bernie: How We Go from the Sanders Campaign to Democratic Socialism, by Micah and Meagan Day - https://www.versobooks.com/books/3167-bigger-than-bernie
