Ep 183: Prospects for the Labor Movement, feat. Dave Kemper

Sun, 12 Oct 2025 18:30:07 +0000

In this episode of Left on Red, Scott and Susan welcome returning guest Dave Kamper to discuss the state and future of labor organizing. The conversation kicks off with an introduction to Dave's new book, Who's Got the Power: The Resurgence of American Unions, and reflects on past labor movements, highlighting the decline in union density and setbacks faced under the Trump administration. Despite these challenges, the discussion maintains a hopeful tone, emphasizing the importance of solidarity, positive attitudes, and innovative organizing strategies. They further discuss the significance of self-care in activism and the perception of labor unions today. The episode wraps up on an optimistic note, encouraging ongoing efforts and the importance of inspiring others to join the cause.

Ep 182: Democratic Socialism's Rising Popularity

Fri, 10 Oct 2025 17:20:26 +0000

In this episode of 'Left on Red,' hosts Susan and Scott welcome Gabe and Jared from the DSA Fund and the Center for Working Class Politics, respectively, to discuss findings from a newly commissioned poll on the popularity of democratic socialism in the U.S. They explore trends among different demographics, especially the support among younger generations and skepticism toward capitalism. They address the notion that figures like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are exceptional due to their charisma rather than the appeal of socialism itself. The conversation also dives into the challenges DSA faces in converting broad support for socialism into organizational membership and expanding influence. The discussion raises the need for strategic campaigns, labor support, and combating media bias to mobilize broader public engagement and electoral success for democratic socialist policies.

Ep 3: A Drop In Astoria
