Socialism: Unitarian Universalism Incarnate

In this episode from the UU Ecosocialist Network, we explore why socialism is not only compatible with Unitarian Universalist values, but a faithful extension of them. Riding the wave of recent victories like Zohran Mamdani’s election in New York, the episode examines how socialism offers a tangible path to realizing justice, equity, and interdependence in our lifetimes. Drawing on UU theology, early Christian communal practices, labor history, and contemporary eco-socialist initiatives, the podcast unpacks socialism as the democratic organization of the economy for the common good, confronts common myths about human nature and freedom, and highlights the importance of organization, strategy, and solidarity. Ultimately, it is a call to action: to transform our faith into revolutionary practice, building a Beloved Community grounded in dignity, care, and love.Follow us to stay in touch and help build ecosocialism:Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@UUEcoSocialistNetwork⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3Av0Cc2⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠tinyurl.com/UUESN⁠⁠⁠Reach out for more info: ⁠⁠⁠[email protected]
