Confronting Capitalism: Why Elites Love Identity Politics

In the wake of Kamala Harris's defeat, the Left's association with identity politics has been a major focus of public debate. But what identity politics is or who primarily benefits from it remains contested. In this episode of Confronting Capitalism, Vivek Chibber discusses the Democrats’ long-standing attachment to identity politics, why this form of politics can't fight oppression, and the real history behind struggles for justice. Confronting Capitalism with Vivek Chibber is produced by Catalyst: A Journal of Theory and Strategy, and published by Jacobin. Music by Zonkey.

Jacobin Radio: Reversing the Left's Decline w/ Bill Fletcher Jr.

Suzi recently participated in a conference in honor of the dissident sociologist Boris Kagarlitsky, who is languishing in Putin's prison for speaking out against the war in Ukraine. On this episode of Jacobin Radio, we bring you a panel from the conference discussing Boris's latest book, The Long Retreat, published while he was in prison. Three activist-scholars, Bill Fletcher Jr., Alex Callinicos, and Jayati Ghosh, present their appreciation and their critiques of Kagarlitsky's analysis of the rise of the Right and the decline of the Left over the last forty plus years. Our speakers address Kagarlitsky's internationalist account of left organizations across the globe that, he argues, remain stuck in the past, unable to come to terms with new realities. The speakers also address Kagarlitsky's critique of identitarian politics of difference, which makes forming broad mass political projects difficult. Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.

Long Reads: Class Struggle in Ancient Rome w/ Sarah Bond

As with many other periods, the history of the Roman Empire has often been told from the vantage point of a minoritarian social elite.

She joins Long Reads to discuss this project. Sarah's book Strike: Labor, Unions, and Resistance in the Roman Empire will be published in February of next year.

Dig: Assassin Nation w/ Patrick Blanchfield

Featuring Patrick Blanchfield on assassination and political violence: from the routine to the extraordinary; authored by the state, capital, the left, the right, the unwell and alienated; as an anxiety, in our fantasies, as a morbid symptom and repetition compulsion; and as expressing distinctively American logics of domination and human disposability.

And they’re saying such interesting things. There is even lots to of space - literally and figuratively- to disagree.

I appreciate the mix of news and analysis. Long Reads has been a great addition to the podcast.
Marc Cooper condescending tone

One Diva One Mic

Marc Cooper speaks so dismissively and disrespectfully to Suzi. It’s hard to listen to at times. He needs to stop interrupting her and stop belittling everything she says. It’s very off putting.

Maureen, AN OK BOOMER

Trying to dance around the elephant in the room isn’t doing you any good? It doesn’t do the Democratic Party any good. “Gaza is the issue”. Gaza is the issue‼️the rise of Israel having so much power over this country is the issue. I didn’t expect a podcast like this on Jacobin.
