Episode Details

See Freddie LIVE at our June 14 event! http://www.give2wbai.org/product_p/ot0738-sp17.htm On this episode we talk to writer and academic Freddie DeBoer about political violence, no platforming and how the political Left needs more, not less, theory. Freddie argues against political violence and restriction of free speech (no-platforming) as viable tactics, saying, that the appeal some on the Left find in the idea of political violence "is more about managing disappointment that asking how we can actually win." Because "the Left lacks power in most contexts," no platforming would mean, "we're not going to be the censors. We're going to be the censored." Guest co-host Josh brings us headlines in the voice of a certain singer from the 1990s.
