Dead Pundits Society

Sam Gindin joins us today for a 2-hour juggernaut of a chat about the fight against capitalism and the requirements of a successful socialist project. Sam worked with the Canadian Auto Workers for many decades before co-authoring many articles and books with Leo Panitch, one of which, The Making of Global Capitalism (Verso, 2012), won the Deutscher Prize. We discuss the nine pillars of a successful socialist movement outlined in his article from 2016 titled, “Un-making Global Capitalism.” Although it is a couple years old, its themes are evergreen.
