How We Do It

Is everything neoliberal these days? Joining us to discuss the meaning and impact of neoliberalism in 2019 is Nick Kiersey, professor of political science at the University of Texas-Rio Grande. We discuss the controversial legacy and Foucault and what his insights might add to a discussion of the political-economic dimensions of neoliberalism and late capitalism.

Our recent series of public ownership begs an answer to the following question: if we seek to build a post-neoliberal society, what signposts might an analysis of contemporary neoliberalism provide in that effort? Tune in to find out!

Cat Hobbs, founder and director of We Own It, joins us to talk about the implementation and governance of public ownership. We discuss the awful results of the privatization of public services and what we can do to take these essential services back under public control.

Joining us this week to discuss the Democratic Socialists of America and its upcoming convention is Andrew Sernatinger, organizer and union member from Madison, WI and author of two recent essays on the topic. We discuss the recent history of DSA, how it came to be the biggest socialist organization in decades, and what the upcoming convention holds in store for the future of both the org and the left.

Joining us this week to talk about the importance of placing science and the labor movement at the center of the movement for a Green New Deal is Leigh Phillips, author of Austerity Ecology and the Collapse-Porn Addicts (Zero, 2015) and The People's Republic of Wal-Mart, co-authored with Michal Rozworski (Verso, 2019).

We discuss the scope and shape of a socialist Green New Deal, what kind of clean energy will be necessary, and critique the way that some progressives and socialists have gone about arguing for a green ecological movement.

Richard Walker, director of the Living New Deal, joins us once again to talk about the lessons that we must learn from the original New Deal in order to successfully implement a Green New Deal. AOC has popularized the idea, but are progressive organizations up to the task? Only democratic socialists seem to have the grounded, class-war perspective necessary to pull off such a bold agenda and realign the U.S. political scene.

Joining us this week is Richard Walker, professor emeritus at UC-Berkeley and director of the Living New Deal. We discuss the legacy of the New Deal and address whether or not it can be said to have caused segregation. Did African Americans benefit from these policies? Does the allegedly racist nature of the New Deal and the way it is said to have excluded black workers mean that Bernie Sanders's invocation of it as a model for democratic socialism is flawed?

Tune in and find out.

Joining us this week is Mathew Lawrence, founder of Common Wealth (UK). We begin by discussing his new project focused on designing ownership models for a democratic and sustainable economy. The inclusive ownership funds that have become the centerpiece of Corbynomics have made their way across the Atlantic to Bernie Sanders's policy platform, and Mathew tells us what that means for the emerging transatlantic left.

Adam is joined by M.V. Watson for some post-debate action. They drink some beers, break down the performances on both nights, assess the winner and losers, and talk about the real winner of both nights: Bernie Sanders and the politics of democratic socialism.

We watched the debates (so you don't have to).
