Democratic vs an Independent Socialist Party

In this episode we discuss what it means for Bernie Sanders to run as a candidate in the Demoractic Party, and what it means to build an independent socialist workers party. We'll debate the challenges of building a independent party and pushing the Democratic to the left.

This episode will also feature Ashely Smith of the International Socialsit Review. He has written a few articles on why the left should not support the Bernie run. You can read one of his articles here.

This show is a continuation of other discussions we've had about the Bernie campaign.
