Summary

Ben Burgis, author of 'Give Them an Argument' from Zero Books, stops by the studio to discuss the use and abuse of logic: why we can't cede this terrain to right-wing ghouls; how we can better argue for a better world; and how Karl Marx could be the messiest bitch of the 19th century while remaining logically sound.

Plus, the return of This Week in Musk where we trace the travails of our century's most insufferable ruling class twit. Enjoy!
