Earshot March 5th

In a discussion about the role of communism in today's politics, Kaity Chiocca and Konrad Cukla, founders of the Young Communist's League at NYU, highlight the importance of expressing ideas that are portrayed as uncommon in the United States. But they note that many of the communist ideals are not so extreme compared to current social shifts and communism may also be rooted in this country's history.  

Earshot Mar. 5th

A particular point of interest toward the end of the conversation was whether socializing health care would cause quality to decline. Kaity disagreed and mentioned how many developed countries have comparable, if not better, health care with socialized systems. 

Hope you enjoy the peek into the far left!
