Bernie Sanders shocked the political establishment by winning 13 million votes and a majority of young voters in the 2016 Democratic primary. Since that upset, repeated polls have judged this democratic socialist to be the most popular politician in the United States. What lessons can be drawn from his surprising insurgent campaign?
Recorded May 16, 2018, at the Borough of Manhattan Community College.
Sponsored by Verso Books, Jacobin, and Fordham University Department of Social Science.
Great, insightful discussion by Dr. West, Professor Reed and Professor Gautney! Enjoyed this very much -
Heather Gautney - Thank you for writing this important book.
My humble suggestion is to contact the following UA-cam channels, to discuss your book: TBTV (Tim Black), Jimmy Dore, Secular Talk (Kyle Kulinski), Humanist Report (Mike Figerado), TYT(Cenk Uygur), The Progressive Soapbox (Jamarl Thomas), The Rational National (David Doel).
When Bernie wins I hope he put Cornel West on supreme Court
Nomogop Nomogop You actually have to have been a lawyer, meaning you must actually know the law and Cornel is not a legal expert. It would be like making Susan Sarandon attorney general.
joanofarc33 wrong the Constitution does not make any qualifications to be on the Supreme Court education, age or gender.
Nomogop Nomogop The Constitution sets forth no specific requirements. However, members of Congress, who typically recommend potential nominees, and the Department of Justice, which reviews nominees' qualifications, have developed their own informal criteria one of which is knowledge of the law itself, usually someone who’s served as a judge or lawyer.
joanofarc33 I would do a recess appointment and let the Republicans cry and fight mean while he is in there.
joanofarc33 the current informal criteria about levels of qualification for SC are obviously the least of the obstacles for west’s hypothetical nomination lmfaooo but also I hope u don’t think that the SC is some noble or rational institution that expresses real expertise because that’s delusional
Thanks C West for calling out John Lewis on his absurd remarks about Sanders.
Bay View Junk Guy Amen. Martin Luther King, A. Phillip Randolph and Bayard Rustin, l imagine were turning in their graves over John Lewis remarks in 2016
Dr. West’s reply to the young HS student was beautiful. He gave her the challenging response her important question deserved in such a loving and “grandfatherly” manner. Clearly he gets that she and her friends are pivotal to our National course correction.
I don't know how Senator Sanders have all that energy.
Bernie eats his Spinach. Lol
Lovely panel. Cheers comrades!
The way I love Dr. West!!!
he fucking rules
Love you all three! Consipated look + Nkvd.... Camrades♥️♥️🇨🇳🇨🇳
Oh my, Reed invoking the NKVD. Lmfao
We must speak of the breaking points our representatives first strayed from representing the people to representing themselves and the power that helps them represent themselves. Citizens United is one and until a Supreme Court justice meets his maker while we have a president of the people or a president to appoint a Supreme Court justice to position, who will over turn citizens united. Until this happens we will be inundated with billionaires and corporations making legislation and dismantling what has been in place to protect the people’s rights.
Jacobin Magizine rules! Leftward!
Adolph for Vice Prez?
These awful alliances btween the "black"- "feminist" and "zionist" elites...and empire are so utterly corrosive to each of these groups and discourse itself...it is horrific how these people undermine their own constituencies...i am at a loss...i love all three of you so very much...
When he took a shot at Coates's they physically pulled back
They did the same thing in 2019
We need to understand why people think the way they do. Not being a collective firing squad. Believe it not, a lot of Americans think we are regressive kooks. We have to make arguments to disprove their claims.
Check out this article, it explains where modern racism comes from, and why progressive and revolutionary people denounce all racism and struggle based on class with special focus paid to how structural oppression shapes people
rashidmod.com/?p=2376
The history of the last 40 years or so of affinity group, identity based politics based on privilege theory, discouraging structural class analysis, is incredibly easy to co opt by capitalism, because it inevitably leads to an individualistic and hostile progressive scene.
Ironically, thinking of men or white people or the descents of colonists as a cohesive group reinforces the mythologies of patriarchy, white supremacy, and colonialism. Except, instead of making those things look good, they denounce them. But that denunciation falls flat, because they still accept the bogus claim that there's no real internal divisions among men, white folks, or those decentents, like class.
Social media, which validates people for being popular, makes this worse. It's way easier and safer to talk about race or gender than class, because we are taught those categories and see everything through those lenses. Both the neoliberals and reactionaries encourage us to see the world more easily this way.
So without a lot of disciplined study into unpopular and unappealing ideas (like that a racist or sexist worker might have more in common with a worker of the race or sex they don't like than the ones they do) people default to focusing themselves
West Almost said "Our dear sister Hillary Putnum."
Always very telling how Sander's "Haters" SELECTIVELY don't hear when he explains how his proposals will be paid for.
Health Care & Education are HUMAN RIGHTS Period. How is America going to maintain high status in the world w/o leading in both those areas?
Oh yeah I forgot....
ONLY CERTAIN PEOPLE are entititled to them.
Hindsight is 20/20 and Covid surely played a role but I haven't heard a peep about any sort of federal jobs guarantee in some time. That's probably to be expected when a right wing party pulls out all the stops to to benefit one of their most conservative figures who happens to be suffering from dementia.
AWESOME, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING TO EXPLAIN THE ROT IN 2016! FUNNY HOW THOSE THAT HAD A MUCH CHEAPER EDUCATION BILL TO LIVING COST OR IF OVER 50 PROBABLY HAD A FREE COLLEGE BECAUSE 45 YEARS AGO ALMOST ALL WERE FREE OR NEARLY FREE COMPLAIN ABOUT BERNIES PLANS ...THEY ARE JUST HYPOCRITES!
Remember that the reason healthcare and education is not free is not that the American people cannot afford it, it is because the economic elites fear a population educated enough and healthy enough to resist their predatory behaviour.
Cornell West will go off on him for attacking Joy Reid
I though reed didn’t like west?
Mutts article is ridiculous
For God's sake, don't
NADERize Bernie.
He is too good a candidate to allowed to fail because some bunch of fanatics are incapable of seeing anything beyond Bernie. And the idea that the author shamelessly took the name of NADER's book -for the most part- not only shows a lack of imagination, but to the naked eye of the average voter champions that egomaniac ,Nader who's arrogance forbade him from endorsing any other candidates when he eventually dropped out. There are already fools out there who have tried to accuse Bernie of the same from last election. Any approach, comparison -or any suggestion of such to the Average Joe American voter -is candidatorial homicide on their part. Don't destroy this man's respectable image. We can't afford to lose him!
Capitalism is the crisis!!! Bernie is a DNC kiss ass!!! AND ya'all get UNION leaders WRONG. They are feather bedding fucking capitalists. Not one word of the fucking DNC cheating, what the fuck.
Socialism is not the right way. I'm a Democrat and I voted against Bernie Sanders. I voted for Trump.
you might want to take a close look at what socialism has done for the Chinese workers...they will overtake this empire of greed in a few short years...putting economic power in the hands of the peasants..
Yeah the Chinese works and their steady diet of lead and mercury-laden products as well as their lack of air quality is all anyone needs to see. China's economic model is unsustainable.
Barro the Broadcaster Barro, I imagine as Professor Reed pointed out you have to get up every day and work for a living. Unless you are the upper 20% of the income distribution, you voted against your true interests.
@@Barrobroadcastmaster Chinese air quality has improved dramatically in the last decade, and those contaminated products were made by foreign owned businesses for export. There was a crack down after the contamination was discovered.
The fact that the Chinese government has moved so quickly in response to these issues, while using mass job programs to build infrastructure in response to the crisis of 10 years ago, while lifting so many out of poverty Chinese workers are second to us in buying power, with clear articulated goals centered around reducing wealth gaps, combating global warming and corruption, and developing the economies of dozens of countries, with a political party that is made up of tens of millions of people, 2/3 of which are rank and file workers, shows a clear difference in a socialist country that actually cares and is responsive to its people and takes responsibility for itself in the world, and a capitalist one like ours that fails at all those things
It fails while it has more people in prison, more violent police, weaker unions, accelerating debt and wealth gaps, decreasing quality of life, constant war for profit destabilizing entire regions killing millions and making millions more into refugees, forcing free trade deals that cause millions of immigrants to flee the destruction of their small economies and come here for work
China has a lot of problems, but they are uniquely equipped to deal with it because capital is subordinated to working class politics. That's ultimately what socialism is about
What a dogshit post.
