Jacobin contributor Anton Jäger explains the rise of "hyper-politics" and why everything these days is "political" but collective struggle remains elusive. Luke Savage analyzes the Democrats' recent failure to pass voting rights legislation. Jen Pan argues that the debate over affirmative action at elite universities overlooks larger inequalities.

The Jacobin Show, hosted by Jen Pan, offers socialist perspectives on class and capitalism in the twenty-first century, the failures of liberalism, and the prospects of rebuilding a left labor movement in the US. This is the podcast version of the show from January 26, 2022.
