Socialism With American Characteristics (Ft. JT Chapman)

In this episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by JT Chapman, the man behind Second Thought, the largest socialist YouTube channel at the moment, and The Deprogram Podcast. JT and I discuss the experiences and challenges in producing independent media, the importance of optics, and what Socialism in America could look like. In The Backroom on Patreon, JT debates Marxism-Leninism and talks about the online-left ecosystem.
