What does ‘socialism’ mean to a generation that grew up with COVID…
not the Cold War? How have the compounding effects of college
protests, financial insecurity, and student loan debt shaped a
culture?

This is… The ABCs of the Culture Wars. For the next few weeks,
Brittany breaks down the history, subtext, and evolving meanings of
the buzzwords you hear all over the news and social media. Today
we're talking about the S-word: Socialism. And why the word has
gained new meaning for a younger generation looking for
relief.

Brittany is joined by Axios senior politics reporter Holly
Otterbein and head of Teen Vogue’s politics section, Lex
McMenamin.
