Socialism in the US Can Happen, and Here's What It Can Look Like

<p>What would socialism look like in the United States—the richest &nbsp;country ever known yet 38 million people are hungry? Socialism would use &nbsp;that wealth and our development for the needs of the people, stop &nbsp;endless wars, and crush racism, sexism, and all forms of bigotry. A new &nbsp;book, "Socialist Reconstruction: A Better Future for the &nbsp;United States," demonstrates what this could look like in detail, &nbsp;starting in “the first decade of &nbsp;socialism in the United States."</p> <p>Brian is joined by Dr. Jodi Dean, Professor of Political Science at &nbsp;Hobart and William Smith Colleges &amp; author of several books. She and &nbsp;Brian were part of the collective effort to produce the <a href="https://www.liberationstore.org/products/socialist-reconstruction-a-better-future-for-the-united-states" target="_blank">just-released book “Socialist Reconstruction: A Better Future for the United States."</a></p> <p>Please make an urgently-needed contribution to The Socialist Program by joining our Patreon community at <a href="https://gate.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fpatreon.com%2Fthesocialistprogram&amp;token=786d3-1-1666039537936" rel="nofollow ugc" target="_blank" title="http://patreon.com/thesocialistprogram">patreon.com/thesocialistprogram</a>. &nbsp;We rely on the generous support of our listeners to keep bringing you &nbsp;consistent, high-quality shows.
