Explore the influence and impact of hyperpolitics, mass movements, and the power elite on modern democracy in the latest episode of This Is Revolution podcast. This intriguing discussion features our special guest and renowned political analyst, Daniel Bessner, and is incisively hosted by Pascal Roberts.
Focusing on the rise of Black power, civil rights movements, and major political swings, our host and guest delve into the past and present landscapes of socio-politics in the United States. Listen as Bessner, a respected professor at Washington University, illuminates the role of political elites in decisively shaping the U.S. policies and decisions.
With academic expertise and political engagement under his belt, Bessner dissects the evolution of American political ideologies, touching on potential driving forces behind these shifts, such as ideological development, changing demographics, and the growing influence of the liberal white power elite.
The discussion beautifully unravels the mysteries surrounding hyperpolitics and its implications, digging deeper into societal power interactions and exploring the theory of 'Power Elite.'
