Stalin's terror, the economic failure of the Soviet Union, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the popular uprisings across Eastern Europe appeared to have buried socialism. But now a new generation is calling for radical change.

Labour MP and author of The New Socialism Angela Eagle , founder of Momentum Jon Lansman and award-winning Time columnist and author David Aaronovitch debate the promise of socialism in the 21st century.
