Bold Politics with Zack Polanski
How A Mamdani Win Will Send Shockwaves Around The World | HasanAbi | Zack Polanski
•
How are progressive politicians finding success by neutralising culture war questions and always bringing the subject back to inequality? What does UK politics look like from the US perspective? How can everyday citizens collectively organise and challenge fascist ideologies when they are being perpetually backed and funded by the billionaires that own the platforms we use every day?
Zack Polanski speaks to US streamer and one of the most notable voices in progressive politics, Hasan Piker about the similarities and differences between the battle for equality on both sides of the Atlantic.
