from Rania Khalek Dispatches · host Rania Khalek

While capitalist media has a stake in portraying the left in this way, the organized US left is rebuilding and growing stronger.

To discuss the history of repression against the US left and how it relates to the challenges we face today, Rania Khalek was joined by Brian Becker, host of The Socialist Program, which you can watch every Wednesday right here on Breakthrough News.
