With the rise of Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, socialism is no longer a dirty political word in Democratic circles. But what exactly would a Democratic socialist society look like? Errol talks it over with Bhaskar Sunkara, the author of the new book “The Socialist Manifesto,” who shares his vision of a nation based on people’s needs and explains the evolution and history of socialism in American politics.
