Socialist Resurgence radio is a project of Workers’ Voice/La Voz de los Trabajadores which was formed in March of 2022 by a fusion of Socialist Resurgence and Worers’ Voice. We expect to create new content soon. Please stay tuned your place to get connected to a living movement and revolutionary party within the US. This podcast offers anti-capitalist perspectives from an intersectional Marxist grouping, interviews with activists from across the country and with decades of experience. We’re trying to build a perspective that includes all of the working class and tells the stories that often go untold or forgotten. Our analysis isn’t merely for the sake of theoretical advancement, but to agitate and inspire the working class towards the solution to our many present crisis. The solution is socialism, come and listen to what class partisans have to offer the diverse global working class. https://workersvoiceus.org/

Socialist Resurgence Radio interviews Doug Greene, Marxist historian and author about his forthcoming book, A Failure of Vision: Michael Harrington and the Limits of Democratic Socialism (Zero Books, 2021). In the current period, democratic socialism seems ascendant with the rapid growth of the Democratic Socialists of America. Many on the left have embraced the notion that the Democratic Party is an arena of struggle.
Harrington was the foremost champion of the concept of “realignment” -- the notion that socialists can work inside the Democratic Party and make gains for working people. Greene joins our host Alex Coy to explode myths about Harrington, the Democratic Party, and democratic socialism.
More of Doug’s writing can be found at The Blanquist. Doug Greene is also the author of Communist Insurgent: Blanqui's Politics of Revolution (Haymarket)
