We discuss why left populism failed, whether socialism can avoid populism, Bernie Sanders and the problem of recuperation, Trump and Bonapartism, the difference between populism and democracy, working-class “common sense,” Gramsci vs. Machiavelli, and the widening class divide between the contemporary left and the people it claims to represent.</p><p><br></p><p>There are two Patreon-exclusive Backroom episodes this week: one titled<strong>“Strategizing the Class War”</strong> and  one titled<strong>“Culture War As Class War,”</strong>Daniel and I continue the debate over what a serious class politics would actually look like. We get into the PMC and the “cultural apartheid” between classes, immigration, welfare and lumpenization, rentierism and private property, Christopher Lasch, DSA and woke politics, and whether the contemporary left can be reformed from within or is already locked in a civil war over what socialism is supposed to be.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>You can listen to 1Dime Radio on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get podcasts.</p><p><br></p><p>Timestamps:<br>0:00 The Backroom Preview<br>6:15 Populism vs Marxism<br>11:13 Recuperation, Bonapartism, and Trump<br>19:52 Bernie Sanders and the Failure of Left Populism</p><p>16:51 Populism As a Style Vs as an Ideology<br>29:11 Populism vs. Democracy<br>35:53 Common Sense, Gramsci, and Machiavelli<br>43:04 Who Are the Common People?<br>51:55 Why Marxism Attracts Intellectuals<br>55:11 DSA, Culture War, &amp; Immigration<br>1:00:02 Rebuilding Class Politics<br>1:02:16 Transition to The Backroom </p><p><br></p><p>GUEST:<br>Daniel Tutt | Philosopher, writer, host of Emancipations, and co-author of <em>The People Are Not One: Socialist Strategy After Left Populism</em></p><ul><li>Website: <a href="https://danieltutt.com/"><u>https://danieltutt.com/</u></a></li><li>The People Are Not One: <a href="https://www.revolpress.com/people-not-one"><u>https://www.revolpress.com/people-not-one</u></a></li><li>Emancipations: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@emancipations"><u>https://www.youtube.com/@emancipations</u></a></li></ul><p>FOLLOW 1Dime:</p><ul><li>1Dime Radio YouTube channel: <a href="https://youtube.com/@1dimeradio"><u>https://youtube.com/@1dimeradio</u></a></li><li>Substack: <a href="https://1dimereview.substack.com/"><u>https://1dimereview.substack.com/</u></a></li><li>X/Twitter: <a href="https://x.com/1DimeOfficial"><u>https://x.com/1DimeOfficial</u></a></li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tonyof1dime/"><u>https://www.instagram.com/tonyof1dime/</u></a></li><li>Main 1Dime YouTube channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@1Dimee"><u>https://www.youtube.com/@1Dimee</u></a></li></ul><p><br></p><p>Leave a like, comment, and subscribe.
