As history repeats itself through Democratic insiders' staunch rejection of the Sanders campaign, how should radicals engage with the Democratic Party?\n\nWallace's ouster set the stage for a continued pattern of Democratic concessions to the right, and a series of blows to labor unions. As organized labor collapsed, so did the standard of living for the American working class. \n\nIn this virtual teach-in, the authors will contend with this history and offer takeaways for radicals from the campaign trail to the factory floor.\n\nWatch the live event recording: https://youtu.be/MJPmhEHcDds\n\nBuy books from Haymarket: haymarketbooks.org\n\nFollow us on Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/haymarketbooks
