Supreme Court Allows Mass Firings by Trump

Richard Wolff on The Socialist Program

On The Socialist Program, Richard Wolff discusses the Supreme Court’s recent decision permitting mass firings of federal workers, placing it within a broader historical pattern of shrinking the public sector. The conversation connects these developments to the long-term decline of the American Empire and rising inequality, emphasizing the consequences for economic stability and social cohesion. Wolff reflects on emerging progressive currents in U.S. politics, including the potential of candidates like Zohran Mamdani, and explores the role of socialist ideas in challenging entrenched corporate power and shaping future governance.
