[Classic DPS] The Democratic Party and Socialism (A- and B-Sides) w/ Adam Hilton

Season 2 of DPS has officially wrapped. Season 3 will launch in the end of April 2019 featuring a new website, weekly YouTube videos along with articles and blog posts. In the meantime, patrons will be getting a weekly B-Side and the free feed will revisit classic episodes of DPS. This episode featuring Adam Hilton aired 1.5 years ago and serves as a valuable point of reflection for the left's strategy of using the Democratic Party as a strategic tool.
