The People Are Not One - Book Discussion feat. Lisa McKenzie, Benjamin Studebaker and Mike Macnair

A discussion on the new book The People Are Not One: Socialist Strategy After Left Populism by Daniel Tutt and C. Derick Varn featuring guests Lisa McKenzie, Benjamin Studebaker and Mike Macnair. In The People Are Not One, Daniel Tutt and C. Derick Varn dismantle the central illusion of contemporary left politics: that “the people” can serve as a coherent subject of emancipation. Against both right and left populisms, they argue that this fantasy of unity obscures real class antagonisms and traps socialism in a dead-end politics of moral appeal and electoral maneuver.
