Summary
The editor of Zer0 Books and host of Zer0 Squared talks about his recent video that was too hot for Youtube. What is "the Great Reset," what does Christopher Lasch's "The Revolt of the Elites" have to say about (via Paul Sweezy and the Johnson-Forest Tendency), and how did that critique not go far enough? We also discuss Doug's sectarian background and new media strategies for the left in general.
