Ne Plus Ultra - Episode 11: Wealth Privilege

from Comrade Cast · host Spencer Downing

Welcome everyone to the eleventh episode of Ne Plus Ultra - Wealth Privilege. In our latest argument episode, we put on our socialist glasses and talk about a new phenomena in our lives, identity politics. Today, the spirit of the very first socialists after the French revolution is revived, as we take issue with a new societal trend that claims identity is the key definer for one's privilege in society. In this episode we show that this idea is wrong using both philosophy and science. But most of all we show that this type of politics bitterly divides us, and not only does nothing to help those it claims to, but ultimately results in only helping the most powerful forces in society. It's probably the most controversial episode of Ne Plus Ultra yet. Come and join me if you will as we explore the world of wealth privilege. In the second segment of the podcast, we talk about issues from socialized medicine, the upcoming EU referendum and many more subjects submitted by the listeners. It's another wild ride for the part of your brain that enjoys the finer things here on Ne Plus Ultra. Stay thinking my friends. -Spencer
