Mehr What Do We Want? Conversations with the International Left

While the far-right continues to gain ground around the world, the international left has arguably never been so fragmented. Many of its most prominent figures use different labels to describe themselves (socialists, progressives, populists…). Their platforms and styles vary. Even exchange among them is relatively limited.

(Hosted by Cole Stangler. )
