Dead Pundits Society

How do we build a robust socialist movement from below in today's democratic socialist upsurge? Micah Uetricht joins us to explain the historical role of the "militant minority" in laying the foundations for systemic change and socialism from below. We discuss how this layer of socialist cadre will be crucial in developing the capacities necessary for the success of the Bernie Sanders wave and beyond. Micah is managing editor at Jacobin Magazine. Look out for his new Jacobin podcast that will feature short chats with featured Jacobin authors. -Micah Uetricht and Barry Eidlin, "U.S. Union Revitalization and the Missing 'Militant Minority,'" Labor Studies Journal (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0160449X19828470). *** Join the Dead Pundits Society to catch the B-Side, which will be dropping later this week: www.patreon.com/deadpundits *** ------------------- Twitter: @deadpundits Facebook: facebook.com/deadpunditssociety iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id1212081214 Patreon: www.pat
