Show notes
On June 10, 2026, I hosted a livestream on TikTok. It was the first time I got a lot of engagement on that platform. I had four guests on for discussion/debate, including a communist and a Ph.D. candidate in philosophy. Topics included capitalism, Marxism, and Israel. More details (along with timestamps) below.
