In this edition of The Left is Dead, Jake, Jim, and Kay dive into some of the real theory behind anarchism as well as some of its’ shortcomings. While Kay no longer considers himeslf strictly an anarchist, this conversation touching on topics ranging from the liberal saturation of radical movements, why a central authority is sometimes necessary, the issues with identity politics to some explanation of the Covid economy and the upcoming tech bubble.
