| Abstract: |
The article discusses the author's views on the role of left intellectuals and activists in a steady work of putting pressure to shape the future of the U.S. politics and democracy beyond the task of protesting, fundraising, and planning. He cites the political awakening of a new generation of democratic socialist in the American voting public that supports the candidacy of presidential nominee Bernard Sanders. The author believes that Sander's campaign reveals an emerging left-wing majority that is dissatisfied with the social and racial inequalities created by the Democratic and Republican parties. |
