Jacobin Radio: Dealignment? w/ Robert Brenner & Dylan Riley

Suzi talks to Robert Brenner and Dylan Riley about their “Seven Theses on American Politics” in New Left Review, an analysis of the 2022 midterm election results. The expected "red wave" was, in their words, more like a ripple. The responses to President Biden’s State of the Union address on February 7 further show the partisan fault lines that are superficially characterized in cultural terms. Our guests insist on rigorous class analysis to explain recent trends. Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, protest movements.
