Description
American socialists are having their best year since 1912. In last week's midterms, six socialists were elected to Congress, and three were elected mayor, which means New York, L.A., Washington, D.C., Seattle, Ann Arbor and Providence are now led by democratic socialists. But socialism means different things to different people. Terry Gross talks with Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard historian and New Yorker staff writer Jill Lepore about these victories and the history of American socialism.
