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. Sarah Bond, a professor of classics at the University of Iowa, set out in her research to uncover something different: a "history from below" detailing the class struggle in ancient Rome. 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. Long Reads is a Jacobin podcast looking in-depth at political topics and thinkers, both contemporary and historical, with the magazine’s longform writers. Hosted by features editor Daniel Finn. Produced by Conor Gillies, music by Knxwledge.

Confronting Capitalism: Workers Without a Party

The Democratic Party has long clung to the notion of “demographic destiny,” the view that minorities will vote blue no matter who. But now it is clear that workers of all races are abandoning the Democratic Party, either by moving to the right or dropping out of politics altogether. In this episode of Confronting Capitalism, Vivek Chibber and Melissa Naschek discuss how Donald Trump’s recent victory is different from eight years ago, why the Democrats gave up their working class base, and how the Left can respond to dealignment.

Jacobin Radio: Collapse in Syria w/ Gilbert Achcar

Suzi talked to Gilbert Achcar just before the spectacular collapse of the Assad regime that has ruled Syria for more than fifty years. Achcar, author of many books on the region, explains Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)’s origins, what is behind the lightning offensive that toppled Assad's government, and how that overthrow was prepared by Israel’s war on Lebanon and Gaza. We will also get Gilbert’s take on the collapse of the political center and rise of the far right worldwide, including in France and the US. What new dangers does Gilbert see for the Middle East with Trump’s election? The conversation was recorded December 5.

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

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.
