Episode 59 - Both Sides Now (w/ Prof. David Harvey)

We ask Marxist economic geographer and CUNY professor David Harvey about how to discern incremental reformism from true revolutionary change, what Marx would do if he were a squad member, and what Harvey's post-capitalist fantasy looks like. But first, Virgil & Brie debate the similarities between Joe Biden & Steve Harvey, break down Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer's burden-shifting strategy to achieve student debt cancellation, and evaluate Schumer's recent claims that next time the all-powerful parliamentarian might generously let us have a living wage. Stick around until after to interview for some thoughtful ruminations about where the dialectic goes from here, and some healthy West Wing bashing.
