Astra Taylor joins the Jacobin Show to talk about the need to fight for our democracy, the reasons why her favorite definition of democracy is “rule by the poor,” and how we can claw power back from the elites. Then Alex Bronzini-Vender joins us to talk about the end of the Hamilton era, and what that popular musical said about the ruling ideology of the United States.
