Season 5 Episode 5: Slavoj Zizek on Hegel, Marx, Ukraine, Political Correctness & His Critics

Philosopher, psychologist, and commentator Slavoj Žižek comes back to the show to talk with Ben Burgis about....well....everything. The conversation hits on everything from the relationship between Hegelianism and Marxism to political correctness to Ukraine to how to think about what comes after capitalism. Before we play the interview--and in the postgame for patrons w/Russell Sbriglia--we touch on Ben's article on Steven Crowder (and his recent run-in with Matt Walsh) among other fun subjects.
