Every Saturday at 1 PM ET, Ana Kasparian and Nando Vila broadcast live from the Jacobin YouTube channel. Weekends features free-flowing and humorous commentary on current events and political strategy. This is the podcast version of the show from April 24, 2021, with Jen Pan filling in for Ana.
Jacobin columnist Ben Burgis joins us to explain how and why cancel culture is eroding the left. We also discuss Biden’s plans to tax the rich, the end of the Castro era in Cuba, and the problem with the idea of a monolithic “Asian American community.” Burgis is a philosophy professor and regular contributor to Jacobin. He is host of the podcast Give Them An Argument.
Ben Burgis's latest book, Canceling Comedians While the World Burns, is out now:https://www.johnhuntpublishing.com/ze...
