Victor Wallis will discuss the media’s interpretation of the word socialism, as it applies to Bernie Sanders’ self-described “democratic socialism” in the context of the current Democratic presidential primary campaign. He’ll also examine the history of the cold war stigma applied to the term socialism, compared with how the rest of the world views the word today.
Victor Wallis was also the managing editor of Socialism and Democracy for 20 years and has been writing on ecological issues since the early 1990s. He’s the author of “Red-Green Revolution: The Politics and Technology of Ecosocialism,” and “Democracy Denied: Five Lectures on U.S. Politics.”
