Bernie Sanders and the Hegemonic Crisis of Neoliberal Capitalism

What Next?

Reflecting on the Bernie Sanders campaign from the prespective of an underlying crisis of hegemony, I'd like to show basically two things: (1) The astonishing appeal of the campaign can only be fully grasped if we take into account that today's neoliberal capitalism is in a hegemonic crisis, with corresponding impacts on people's attitudes and expectations; (2) The Sanders campaign intervened effectively into this hegemonic crisis by shifhting the coordinates of people's common sense to the left. Even though Sanders did not become the nominee of the Democratic Party, his campaign changed the US ideological landscape in a remarkable way, opening the possibility of establishing a sustainable democratic-socialist presence.
