KPFA - Against the Grain

From Capitalism to Democratic Socialism


Listen Later

The term socialism has, amazingly, gone from one consigned to Cold War obscurity to the self-description of several prominent US politicians. But what does socialism mean and how could we ever manage to get there? Jacobin magazine founder Bhaskar Sunkara argues that socialism is achievable — and maps out a path to emancipation, first through social democratic reforms, but not stopping there.
