Ep. 5: Rashad X on DSA, FORC, and Working Toward a Democratic Constitution
Published 1 year, 9 months ago
Description
Luke talks with Rashad X, a Black Marxist, member of Marxist Unity Group (MUG), and member of Democratic Socialists of America’s (DSA) National Political Committee (NPC). Last week, DSA released a tweet thread about the Constitution and the new For Our Rights program. In this episode, Rashad talks about many things, including the new program, the limits of political freedoms in an undemocratic country, the problems with calling the U.S. a “bourgois democracy,” pushback to talking about the Constitution, and why we can’t get to socialism without transforming the U.S. into a democracy.
