The Deadly Isms with Matt Kibbe returns for a second season, examining socialism and why it never results in the utopia it promises.

But what does “democratic socialism” really mean? Throughout history, we have experimented with one “ism” after another, and socialism in practice has always been a violent and miserable failure. So why are people so eager to support it today?
