Weekends: May Day w/ Richard Wolff and Meagan Day

Every Saturday at 1 PM ET, Ana Kasparian and Nando Vila broadcast live from the Jacobin YouTube channel. Weekends features free-flowing and humorous commentary on current events and political strategy. This is the podcast version of the show from May 1, 2021.

Professor Richard Wolff joins us to talk about the historic significance of May Day and rebuilding the trade union movement. Meagan Day stops by to discuss how the Nazis tried to appropriate May Day and how the socialist vision won out. Finally, we discuss Kamala Harris's "woke imperialist" statements to Guatemala's president and what it says about today's Democratic establishment.
