Summary

In this conversation, Sunil Sharma and Rafe discuss the contemporary discourse surrounding slavery reparations, tracing its roots to a cultural revolution influenced by Marxist ideologies. They explore the intersection of various social movements, including Black Lives Matter and Me Too, and how these movements reflect a broader ideological shift in society. The discussion also delves into the role of education in perpetuating these ideologies and the historical context of slavery, emphasizing the unique position of Britain in abolishing it. Rafe argues that the current calls for reparations are not genuinely about addressing historical injustices but rather about undermining Western civilization.
