Stephen Hicks is a Professor at Rockford University and an author.
Socialism & Postmodernism are terms thrown around a lot but I don't really understand what they are. Thankfully Stephen does.
Expect to learn a great primer on the foundational principles underpinning socialism and post modernism, how these movements came about, whether socialism can work in modern society, whether postmodernism came about because of the failings of socialism and much more...

0:00.0 | Hello my friends, welcome back. |
0:03.4 | My yesterday is Stephen Hicks and we are talking about post-modernism and socialism. |
0:09.5 | The words have been thrown around an awful lot if you've been involved in the internet |
0:15.3 | for the last few years, but I haven't got to clue what the underpinnings of them are. |
0:19.7 | I don't know what socialism is as a philosophical perspective. |
0:23.0 | I don't know why post-modernism believes the things that it believes or really even what |
0:28.0 | it believes. |
0:29.2 | I wanted to get someone on who does actually understand what they're talking about |
0:33.2 | so that we can all appreciate the words that we're using. |

0:55.6 | So this is socialism and post-modernism for dummies. |
0:58.7 | Really great primer, especially as we're about to enter the US election cycle. |
1:04.0 | The UK was so at odds with each other during the general election. |
1:09.1 | And hopefully the next time that someone decides to bring up politics and uses socialism or |
1:15.0 | post-modernism in a sentence, you will know what they mean. |
1:18.8 | In other news, this episode of the podcast is brought to you by Zion Radio by PBH |
1:25.7 | Now, the wonderful intro music that you've heard me use for the last nearly 200 episodes was put together |
