Is the left simply reaping what it has sown in making arguments about speech-related violence on campus? Or are there ways to distinguish real from imagined harms?

Does defending domestic workers have to come at the expense of immigrants? And does the shift on this issue reflect a larger rightward shift among online left commentators? The conversation broadens to include a debate on whether labor is disempowered by endorsing Biden, the efficacy of the Squad/DSA's electoral strategy, and whether labor organizing can be successful in the absence of true American labor party.

Even two and a half hours of recording isn't enough time when Norm and Brie hop on a mic together -- and Brie regrets not closing her Apple Watch rings before she started recording -- but, as always, it was a rich and stimulating conversation.

Chérizer has been smeared as a cannibal by Elon Musk and some western media outlets, but is the portrait of him as a revolutionary leader closer to the truth?

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock our full premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast Unlike in 2020 & 2016, a prescriptive progressive economic agenda hasn't been thrust into mainstream consideration this election cycle. Rather, any talk of the economy has largely centered around questions of inflation: whether Biden is or isn't making it better, and whether leftists are overstating the cost of living struggles of working people. This week, Professor of Economics at SUNY-Cortland Steve Maher joins Bad Faith to assert a positive economic vision for the left, how to defeat globalization, and whether or not right-populists have gotten anything right in these regards -- if only rhetorically. We also debate the value of left electoralism, whether "fraud squad" is a fair charge, and the limits of labor militancy. Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube for video of this episode.
