Australia Flirts with Socialism

from It is Discernable® · host Matt Wong

Which way, Australia? Socialist ideas are taking hold in Australia as young people retaliate against a system they feel doesn't support them, and whether deliberately or by stealth, the momentum to rewrite the social contract is rising.This is the debate between two leaders in political thought: Jordan Dittloff (Libertarian) and Daniel Lopez (lecturer, editor at Jacobin, organiser for the Victorian Socialists.Sadly, the socialist speaker withdrew their attendance just before the live event.What followed is Matt grappling with his socialist sympathies as a renter and criticism of a world where the deck is increasingly stacked against young people, versus Jordan who was willing to engage deeply on the issues to make the case that socialism will only deepen Australia's woes.
