There's no top-down solution to the growing influence of socialism in the US. Meaningful change can only happen if individuals fight for it, says Daniel Di Martino.

A policy analyst and the guest this week on "Right Now with Stephen Kent," Di Martino has experienced the hazards of socialist regimes firsthand. In a wide-ranging conversation, Kent and Di Martino discuss the government policies and inequality fueling the Cuba protests; Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the growing popularity of socialism in the United States; and what people, not governments, can and should do to make a difference.
