Joining me this week is Adaner Usmani. We discuss his latest essay in Jacobin (co-authored with Connor Kilpatrick) titled "The New Communists." They argue that it's time to leave the iconography and inward-facing legacy of 1917 behind and forge a socialism that addresses people's lived concerns in 2018.
