Journalist, political commentator, and author Owen Jones joins Jameela this week to discuss why he is a Democratic Socialist, the difference between the welfare state vs. universal income, a brief history of socialism and why it is so often unfairly villainized, why Owen is hopeful for progress, and his advice to those who want to oppose capitalism while also participating in society.
