Summary
<p>Jen Pan takes a look at the politics of the pentagon budget and Daniel Zamora discusses how American-style identity politics somehow found a way of suffusing the ideological debates around the French election. Then, Jen sits down with Cedric Johnson to discuss why the defund movement failed, and why the Left should prioritize a politics of increased social spending to eliminate the very basis of what Johnson terms "stress policing" of working-class communities. </p><br /><p>Subscribe to Jacobin for just $10: <a href="https://jacobinmag.com/subscribe/?code=JACOBINYT" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://jacobinmag.com/subscribe/?code=JACOBINYT</a></p><br /><p>Music provided by Zonkey: <a href="https://linktr.ee/zonkey" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://linktr.ee/zonkey</a></p><br /><p><em>The Jacobin Show</em> offers socialist perspectives on class and capitalism in the twenty-first century, the failures of liberalism, and the prospects of rebuilding a left labor movement in the US.
