Episode 20: Fromm Right to Left w/ Dr. Neil McLaughlin

Discover the similarities between German sociologist Erich Fromm and Jordan Peterson in Episode 20: Fromm Right to Left, where we are joined by very special guest Dr. Neil McLaughlin. We discuss how market incentives have driven the “free speech” or “P-C” university crises and inadvertently fuelled right-wing populism, the differences between American and Canadian perceptions of public intellectuals like Noam Chomsky, and the relevance of materialist and post-materialist values for contemporary Canadian social movements. We talk narcissism on Twitter, Christopher Lasch, Zizek, the privilege discourse, Peterson’s “guru element,” and conclude that we should infiltrate the CBC.Read the article we discuss in the first segment here:https://theconversation.com/rich-private-colleges-in-the-u-s-are-fuelling-inequality-and-right-wing-populism-119145 Get bonus content on Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
