Foto: Paul Mattsson (via socialistparty.org.uk). A lo largo de las últimas décadas, la socialdemocracia abandonó a los trabajadores. Luego los trabajadores abandonaron a la socialdemocracia. ¿Puede prescindir la socialdemocracia de los trabajadores? Esta pregunta habría sido impensable hace unas décadas.

Bhaskar Sunkara December 10, 2024 As bad as the Left fares in any particular election, there will always be space for egalitarian politics in a world where the elite have enormous power and wealth and the vast majority struggle to get by.
The US needs more working-class political candidates | Dustin Guastella and Bhaskar Sunkara

Dan Osborn’s performance this month was a bright spot in an otherwise bleak election cycle for progressives. Although he ultimately lost, the independent US Senate candidate outperformed Kamala Harris in Nebraska by 14 percentage points while running an assertively anti-establishment, pro-union platform. His formula was simple: connect with people about their economic problems, tell them who to blame for them, and tell them what he would do about it.

The Age of Class Dealignment

Nov 21, 2024 | jacobin.com | Bhaskar Sunkara

Can you build social democracy without workers? This question would have been unthinkable a few decades ago. Today it captures a central challenge that left-of-center parties face around the world. In the United States, even as the Democratic Party has moved leftward on domestic policy, it has less working-class support than ever.

I turned on MSNBC after the election results came in and this, verbatim, was the commentary I heard: “This really was a historic, flawlessly run campaign. She had Queen Latifah [who] never endorses anyone! She had every prominent celebrity voice, she had the Taylor Swifties, she had the Beyhive. You could not run a better campaign in that short period of time.” Democrats, it seems, are already blaming their defeat this week on a host of contingent factors and not on their own shortcomings.

Moustafa Bayoumi: ‘Between hate and nothing, hate won’So, it will be Trump, after all. The very idea of another Trump presidency is devastating. His entire campaign consisted of unbridled race-baiting, woman-hating and fascist-in-waiting messaging, yet still he prevails. This is what succeeds in this country? The answer, it’s now clear, is a resounding yes. Should I be surprised?
