In this episode, economist Richard Wolff and Marxist theorist Prabhat Patnaik join India & Global Left to tackle a critical question: Can socialism still offer a viable alternative in today’s world of corporate dominance, imperial power, and electoral dead ends?Using the rise of New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani as a starting point, we explore:What Mamdani represents for the American Left after Occupy and SandersWhether socialism today is about progressive welfare policies—or deeper class struggle and public ownershipThe role of the private sector in a socialist economyAnd whether single-party rule is ever justified in the name of revolutionary changeThis conversation moves from the streets of Astoria to the shadow of empire, asking what it takes to build real power—and whether the socialist project is still alive in the 21st century.🟥 Featuring:Richard Wolff – Economist, Democracy at WorkPrabhat Patnaik – Marxist economist, author of Capital and Imperialism🔴🔴🔴Support Independent media to remain bold: https://patreon.com/IndiaGlobalLeftLink for donation: https://paypal.me/sankymudiar 🔴🔴🔴Follow us on Substack: https://substack.com/@indiagloballeftTwitter: https://twitter.com/Indiagloballeft Instagram https://www.instagram.com/indiagloballeft/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559411353392Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/69Y9iCWUv8ha3ATsPWtWk0?si=ee1f0de3de094f17Telegram: https://t.me/+WNlqoiv1Rhg5NjEx🔴🔴🔴📌 Subscribe for more critical conversations on global politics, empire, and alternatives to capitalism.#Socialism #RichardWolff #PrabhatPatnaik #ZohranMamdani #LeftPolitics #USPolitics #IndiaAndGlobalLeft #Marxism #Empire #ClassStruggle #PublicOwnership #ElectoralLeft
