How 'Socialism' got sexy to young people
Published 4 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
What does ‘socialism’ mean to a generation that grew up with COVID… not the Cold War? How have the compounding effects of college protests, financial insecurity, and student loan debt shaped a culture?
This is… The ABCs of the Culture Wars. For the next few weeks, Brittany breaks down the history, subtext, and evolving meanings of the buzzwords you hear all over the news and social media. Today we're talking about the S-word: Socialism. And why the word has gained new meaning for a younger generation looking for relief.
Brittany is joined by Axios senior politics reporter Holly Otterbein and head of Teen Vogue’s politics section, Lex McMenamin.
