1. an unintended outcome from last year's Presidential campaign
The McCain campaign's baseless use of the terms "socialist" and "socialism" to describe Obama and his policies has brought those terms onto the agenda, and as a result US residents are trying to uncover what those terms mean. In the context of a particular crisis of capitalism this has brought a deeper interest in socialist politics and theory, especially by young people who aren't as entrenched in the culture of anti-communism of the Cold War years.
