Richard Wolff on The Socialist Program

In this episode of The Socialist Program, Richard Wolff breaks down how tax policy in the U.S. funnels wealth upward, with corporate tax cuts coming at the expense of programs like Medicaid. The conversation explores the deep ties between political power and wealthy donors, and how capitalism resists democratic control in the workplace. Historical examples such as Rome and Kerala are used to challenge the fearmongering around socialism in the U.S., framing the debate around structural inequality and the push for democratic reforms in both government and the economy.
