The Way Forward
As huge crowds continue to take to the streets against Trump, the Democrats are paralyzed. The Left can grab the momentum.
The first episode of Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman is here.
It features a wide-ranging interview with Bhaskar Sunkara, Jacobin founding editor, and Robert Brenner, director of the Center for Social Theory and Comparative History at UCLA, author of numerous books including The Economics of Global Turbulence, and coeditor with Vivek Chibber of Catalyst: A Journal of Theory and Strategy, forthcoming from Jacobin. The conversation covers prospects for resistance with a rising anti-Trump sentiment but a weakened labor movement, the Democrats’ refusal to learn any lessons from November’s election and their near-paralyzed state since then, and the widespread support across the United States for a social-democratic agenda that the Left can capitalize on.
