Dead Pundits Society

Joining us this week is Eric Blanc, writer at Jacobin and The Nation as well as author of the upcoming book, Red State Revolt (Verso, 2019). We discuss the Denver teachers strike and place the latest blue state strikes into the context of the red state strikes of 2018. Next, we break down some of the challenges of collective bargaining and how these relate to the broader Democratic Socialist project, the Bernie Sanders wave, and the inside-outside strategy entailed by the democratic road to socialism. -Eric Blanc, "Denver Teachers Win Steps Forward," https://jacobinmag.com/2019/02/denver-teachers-strike-contract-victory/ -Pre-order Red State Revolt here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/607046/red-state-revolt-by-eric-blanc/9781788735742/ *** Help keep Dead Pundits Society free for the masses by donating one hour's wage per month: www.patreon.com/deadpundits *** ------------- Twitter: @deadpundits Soundcloud: @deadpundits Facebook: facebook.com/deadpunditssociety
