Description

Let’s talk about socialism. There’s a marked generational divide in the way people think about that word, what it means, and what it conjures. For those who were adults during the Cold War, socialism evokes something very different than those who came of age after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Now, there’s a growing part of the left that’s trying to make a case for socialism, inciting a definitional dispute about what it means and what it’s capable of. Bhaskar Sunkara is at the center of the political moment, having founded Jacobin, a democratic socialist magazine, back in 2010. Now, he’s here with his new book “The Socialist Manifesto” to discuss the debate.   RELATED READING:The Socialist Manifesto by Bhaskar SunkaraJacobinYOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE:Defending Liberalism with Adam Gopnik (June 18)Learn more about your ad choices.

This podcast starts to answer these questions.
