Season 4 Episode 5: Let's Talk About Adorno (ft. Charles Wofford) (+ Remembering Michael Brooks)

from Give Them An Argument · host Ben Burgis

Charles Wofford, who appeared on the show once before to debate Ben Burgis on postmodernism and Marxism, comes back now for a more relaxed appearance to tell us all about the philosophy of Theodore Adorno. Before that, Ben & the GTAA crew talk about the Fetterman/Oz race in Pennsylvania and how Joe Biden apparently got high and forgot about his promise to deschedule cannabis and pardon everyone serving time in federal prisons for non-violent marijuana offense.Bookending it all at the beginning and end of the show, Ben & the crew mark the two-year anniversary of the premature death of perhaps the most talented political communicator in contemporary American left media--Michael Brooks. Without Michael, this show would never have existed, so we thought we'd share a few clips of him. Whether this is your first time hearing about the guy or you miss him every day, we hope you get something out of it.Read Ben's articles on Michael in Jacobin:https://jacobin.com/2020/07/michael-brooks-tmbshttps://jacobin.com/2020/08/cosmopolitan-socialism-michael-brooksFollow Ben on Twitter: @BenBurgisFollow GTAA on Twitter: @Gtaa_ShowBecome a GTAA Patron and receive numerous benefits ranging from patron-exclusive postgames every Monday night to our undying love and gratitude for helping us keep this thing going:patreon.com/benburgisVisit benburgis.com
