Is Analytic Philosophy a Dead End for the Left?
02 Oct 2025
01:20:47
That's the claim made by Neil Vallelly in a shockingly poorly-informed article for Jacobin (reviewing Christopher Schuringa's book "A Social History of Analytical Philosophy"). Jacobin editor Nick French defended analytic philosophy in a counterpoint review of the same book ("Is Analytic Philosophy a Class Ideology?") published the same day. In this episode, Ben Burgis argues in this episode that French is correct but that the whole exchange suffers from ignoring the overlap between analytic philosophy and Marxism. Jacobin readers should be hearing about the (considerable!) contributions of analytical Marxist thinkers.

01 Sep 2023
01:46:52
Ben Burgis, Jason Myles, and Jordan Dubin are all in studio together. (Matt Christman was originally scheduled but he had to reschedule for late September.) After a half-hearted attempt to talk about a couple of Jacobin articles, they unbutton their metaphorical top buttons and talk about exactly the kind movie the three of them would likely spend an evening talking about off-air, or, OK, maybe that Jason and Ben would be talking about while Jordan sat there and rolled her eyes---the 1982 classic Stephen King/George Romero production "Creepshow." Also Jordan made a cake for Jason's birthday and brown liquor was abundant. A good time was had by all.

Season 5 Episode 30: Debate with Tibor Rutar on Marx's Theory of History + Nordic Model vs Socialism
25 Aug 2023
02:08:13
Tibor Rutar is the author of a book called "Capitalism for Realists: Virtues and Vices of the Modern Economy" in which he argues that the best system is a moderate, social democratic form of capitalism. In making that case, he heavily relies on "economic freedom" rankings. In the book, Rutar criticizes an article Ben Burgis wrote for Jacobin arguing that such rankings are worthless and tell us nothing:
In this episode, they finally sit down to. talk out the differences in their worldviews! Before that, Ben and the crew play a new Billy Bragg song (responding to "Rich Men North of Richmond"), and play a bit of Ben's recent appearance on the Left Reckoning postgame where he talked to Matt Lech and David Griscom about Marxism. In the postgame for GTAA patrons, they preview an in-person debate that Ben is going to be doing in-person in Los Angeles and watch a bubbly conservative pundit who seems to be deeply confused about how, as a conservative, she's supposed to feel about the French Revolution.

Season 5 Episode 27: Banana Discourse + the Right's War on Egalitarian Modernity
04 Aug 2023
02:38:00
Matt McManus comes back for the fuller discussion of his new book "The Political Right and Equality: Turning Back the Tide of Egalitarian Modernity" we teased a few weeks back, and then Ben and the crew switch to a distinctly more low-brow look at the strangest aspect of Matt Wlash's interests in the postgame. At the beginning of the main show, they talk about two of Ben's recent articles for Jacobin. One takes on the idea that we won't have bananas under socialism:
The other talks about the way that conservative freakouts about pride flags and drag shows on military bases (along with several other issues) have made the process of nailing down this year's Pentagon budget unusually contentious--even as the vast majority of lawmakers in both parties if fundamentally on board with a country that doesn't even have universal healthcare pouring an unprecedented 900 billion dollars into its war machine:
Last but very definitely not least, they mention Jason Myles' Kayfabe documentary. You can contribute to make that happen (and get various perks) here:

Season 5 Episode 26: Let's Talk About Grifters (ft. Jason Myles)
28 Jul 2023
02:10:10
This is Revolution podcast host and Sublation magazine columnist Jason Myles returns to talk about his latest for Sublation, "The Grifters: The Capitalist Realism of Left Media":
We've all heard the term "grifters" thrown around as an all-purpose insult for whatever figures in left-wing media someone dislikes. But Jason wants us to think harder about what it actually means, whether the shoe fits, and whether it really captures what's wrong with even the most unhelpful and audience-captured figures out there. (And yes, we're talking about specific people in this discussion!)
Here's that link to the Indiegogo for Jason's feature-length documentary:
In the postgame for GTAA patrons, actress, filmmaker and SAG-AFTRA member Kt Baldassaro talks about the writers' and actors' strike shutting down Hollywood.

GTAA Season 5 Episode 19: The USSR/How Revolutions Go Wrong (ft. Varn, Deep State Kuba & Mean Djene)
13 Jun 2023
01:45:41
A lot of people who don't love capitalism might still worry about the way revolutions can go very, very wrong. In the crumbling Russian Empire a little over a hundred years ago, the Bolsheviks came to power on a platform "land, peace and bread" and "all power to" democratically elected workers councils...and ended up with an authoritarian and often economically dysfunctional one-party state where working-class people had fewer right in some ways than their counterparts in Western Europe. What went wrong, and what lessons might still be relevant for those of us who still dream of a pot-capitalist future?
A power panel of Varn Vlog host C. Derrick Varn and This is Revolution crew members Mean Djene Bajalan and "Deep State" Kuba join Ben Burgis to wrestle with these questions. And of course we f*ck around about less serious subjects in the postgame for GTAA patrons because that's the deal with that.

16 May 2023
01:06:02
Left-wing academic philosopher, Jacobin contributor, and "What's Left of Philosophy?" co-host Lillian Cicerchia comes back on the show to talk to Ben Burgis about Karl Marx's book "The Poverty of Philosophy" and, more broadly, different ways of construing materialism vs. idealism debates and the sometimes vexed relationship between moral critiques of capitalism and Marxist thought. Before that, Ben and the GTAA crew get into the recent strike victory at Rutgers, Bernie vs. Chris Wallace on whether there should be billionaires, and Gad Saad's objections to a 32-hour workweek. In the postgame for GTAA patrons, Jason Myles and Deep State Kuba from This is Revolution podcast join Ben and the crew to watch a expose recently done by intrepid journalists on....the fact that leftists sometimes got to each other's weddings. Don't worry, everyone holds Ben to account for this important transgression.

Season 5 Episode 14: The Philosophy of Dinesh D'Souza (ft. Victor Bruzzone & Ethan)
29 Apr 2023
01:57:55
Conservative commentator Dinesh D'Souza has, as it turns out, made a LOT of videos covering philosophical topics like John Rawls's veil of ignorance and abortion rights, Hume's argument against belief in miracles (D'Souza isn't convinced), and.....something or other about how Nietzsche helps us understand why tech companies censor conservatives? Or something? Anyway, we're on the job. Debate-breakdown regulars Victor Bruzzone and Ethan (from the Confronting Capital channel) join Ben Burgis to subject themselves to some of these videos. For you.
Before that, Ben and the GTAA crew watch and break down a recent friendly debate Ben had w/Briahna Joy Gray on Rising about the Pentagon leaks, and in the postgame for patrons Producer Jordan joins the gang to talk a Compact article that dismissed the mass protests in Israel (where Jordan lived for man years) as a "color revolution." A fun episode all around.

Season 5 Episode 12: Norman Finkelstein Came Here To Chew Bubblegum & Burn Bridges (He's Out of Gum)
16 Apr 2023
02:16:33
Norman Finkelstein makes his debut appearance on GTAA to talk about his book "I'll Burn That Bridge When I Get to It! Heretical Thoughts on Identity Politics, Cancel Culture, and Academic Freedom." Norm is a lifelong, deeply committed leftist who's faced real consequences in his own career for his advocacy on behalf of the Palestinians, so when he says the Left is f*cking up, perhaps it's a good idea to hear the man out.
