Ep. 003: How Hitchens Can Save the Left | Matt Johnson

Welcome to the The Dissidents Podcast, where we talk about how we can strive for a world in which freedom and reason are at the forefront of all human society. In this week’s podcast, Winkfield Twyman, Jr. and Jennifer Richmond speak with author Matt Johnson on his new book How Hitchens Can Save the Left: Rediscovering Fearless Liberalism in an Age of Counter-enlightenment. We discuss themes in his book including Hitchens' staunch adherence to liberalism, his defense of the freedom of speech, dismissal of identarianism, and the ways extremism have affected how we operate today and what we can do using Hitchens as a model to reverse damaging trends. Join us.
