Lucas and Luke talk with Oren S, a member of the Bread and Roses caucus and New York City DSA. Oren has written several articles, including “Anti-imperialism and the Fight to Democratize the US Are Connected,” “Most Americans Have Lost Faith in Our Political System. It’s Time to Change It,” “Chileans Revolted Against Their Constitution. Americans Should Too,” and, most recently, “Fighting for Democracy Means Fighting for Proportional Representation.” Oren covers a variety of topics during our conversation, including the need for democratic reforms like proportional representation, the connection between democracy and anti-imperialism, Chile’s struggle for a new constitution, DSA’s 2024 Program, politics within NYC DSA, and democratic political demands within Bread and Roses. Our interviews with Steven and Rashad are mentioned during the discussion.
