An interview with Ruel Domi: Populism, Socialism, European Politics
Release Date: 09/28/2026
American Thinker editor Andrea Widburg sits down with writer Ruel Domi, an Albanian-born graduate student who brings a distinctly European perspective to American politics. They discuss Europe’s economic and political troubles, immigration and assimilation, what “right” and “left” mean on opposite sides of the Atlantic, and why socialism has become so attractive to younger Americans. Along the way, they find plenty to agree about—and a few things worth arguing over.
