In this episode (cross-published with Growing Down) I talked with Ben Burgis. Ben is a philosophy instructor at Georgia State University Perimeter College, a Jacobin columnist, and the host of the “Give Them An Argument” podcast and YouTube show. He is also the author of Give Them an Argument: Logic for the Left and the forthcoming Canceling Comedians While the World Burns: A Critique of the Contemporary Left. During the session, we touched on the cosmopolitan socialism of our mutual friend, the great Michael Brooks (Rest in Power), and why his vision of an integral left could be (or maybe ought to be) the future of international socialism. [NOTE: My audio was coming in low towards the beginning - I fixed that as we recorded].   https://benburgis.com // https://www.patreon.com/benburgis // https://twitter.com/GTAA_Show //#LeftisBest #CosmopolitanSocialism #Labor --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mutations/message
