Twitch streamer CommieCon interviews Breht on a wide range of topics, including common arguments against socialism and how to refute them, Marx's conception of Species-Being and its relationship to alienation and human nature, Marxism v. Anarchism and what both have to offer, the evolution of human civilization through history, how violence is and is not conceived by liberals, and Nature's increasingly stern demand that we evolve or perish.

0:00.0 | Hello everybody and welcome back to Revolutionary Left Radio. |
0:09.4 | So on today's episode I'm actually putting out an episode where I went on a Twitch streamer's |
0:15.0 | page and had an interview with them so they're actually asking me questions as one of those |
