John Moffat is an 88 year old luminary, which means there's a tendency to drone / ramble, s...

Jul 30, 2020•3 hr 12 min•Ep 24•Transcript available on Metacast Today's episode is eminently different as we have a self-proclaimed Marxist to chat with. Douglas Lain runs the Zer0 Books YouTube channel (linked here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyoQK-mZXr2ws4C0nXGCH1w) and is an accomplished writer. This episode is distinguished by its sublimation from "interview" ⇒ "conversation" ⇒ "friendly debate", where I (Curt Jaimungal) took a backseat in the arena of Douglas Lain and my colleague Peter Glinos.
