The Democratic Party is at a crossroads. In this video we dig into the split between the socialist wing (led by figures like Zohran Mamdani, AOC and Bernie Sanders) and the more center-capitalist wing that defined the party through the Clinton years. 

We go back through history: from pre-capitalism, to free-market capitalism, to communism and then democratic socialism. You’ll learn why growth rates jumped under market-based systems, how socialist models have performed for large populations, and what it means for today’s politics. 

📌 Some topics covered:
 • Why the “D” brand is under pressure and what Joe Manchin meant when he said “the party of the far-left is defining us.”
 • Why Zohran Mamdani’s rise in NYC matters to the national story.
 • How Karl Marx, the Bolsheviks, and Scandinavian socialism fit into the bigger picture.
 • Real data on economic growth: pre-capitalism, capitalism, various socialist regimes.
 • What this means for us now—and what choices the party (and country) face going forward.
