18:42Now PlayingBen Burgis talks about his mini-debate with Gavin McInness about libertarianism and the pandemic and then responds to Matthew Yglesias' bizarre misinterpretation of his Jacobin article "The Left Can’t Just Dismiss the Anti-Lockdown Protests." Burgis believes the left needs to offer better solutions to the economic grievances the lockdown protesters are talking about instead of just starting and ending our response by making fun of them.

Zero Books Manifesto:
The modern world is at an impasse. Disasters scroll across our smartphone screens and we’re invited to like, follow or upvote, but critical thinking is harder and harder to find. Rather than connecting us in common struggle and debate, the internet has sped up and deepened a long-standing process of alienation and atomization.
Zer0 Books wants to work against this trend.
