On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss the New Left’s criticisms of American culture 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.
Many radical movements began to form in the 1960s because they believed the liberals had entrenched the status quo and oppressed minority groups.
