Building Socialism Requires Dismantling Empire / Sudip Bhattacharya

Oct 6
If we choose to restrict ourselves solely to a version of socialism or progressivism that views a strict binary between what’s domestic and what’s considered international, we will find ourselves in the same weakened position as we already are as a left. We will, most of all, not be aligning ourselves with a political strategy that fits more accurately with how U.S. capitalism thrives and festers, which is through an international context.

Sudip Bhattacharya returns to discuss his recent writing, including "There is No Socialism Without the End of U.S. Empire" at Socialist Forum.

Check out Sudip's other writing at his Substack.
