We’ve Got Another Seven Videos and a Podcast Out This Week
From the case against Joe Biden to the economics of a feasible socialism and a new EP Thompson podcast, we have a busy week of audio and video content for you.
We're hosting conversations with left-wing thinkers, almost every day at 6 PM ET.
Socialist politics is built on mass rallies, strikes, and door-knocking. But since we’re all practicing physical distancing, we decided to release a ton of live videos this week, to keep your informed and entertained.
Today, we have Yesterday’s Man author Branko Marcetic breaking down Joe Biden’s political trajectory, which is even more sordid (and interesting) than you think.
Tune in every day at 6 PM Eastern (except where noted). Visit Jacobin on YouTube for past episodes featuring Mike Davis, Grace Blakeley, and a host of others, and please subscribe to the channel!
We’re also happy to announce a new podcast. In Casualties of History, we’ll be working our way through EP Thompson’s The Making of the English Working Class. For the first episode, hosts Alex Press and Gabe Winant cover the book’s preface, as well as outline the context in which it was written.
