JACOBIN
About this episode

Jacobin staff writer Luke Savage joins us to discuss American liberalism after Trump: Has Trump Derangement Syndrome permanently altered liberalism in the US? Why do liberals still act like they're losing? Is liberalism in crisis?

The Jacobin Show 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 August 31, 2021 with Paul Prescod and Jen Pan hosting.
