The American Left: Radicals March Through the Institutions
Manage episode 431551295 series 3484000
On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss the systemic attempts by radicals to capture American institutions before introducing Hillsdale College Politics professor Kevin Slack.
American politics have drastically transformed over the last few decades as a ruling elite has emerged that, despite being from different parties, largely shares radical ideologies centered around identity politics. The change is not simply the natural conclusion of progressivism, but rather a series of radical movements that have provided new ideas and shifted the Left from the liberalism of Franklin Roosevelt to the Great Awokening of Barack Obama’s second term.
The radical thought leaders in each of these movements entrenched themselves in positions in academia, the bureaucracy, and the media so that, without having to win elections, they became influential in shaping the direction of American politics and culture.
