Discover the similarities between German sociologist Erich Fromm and Jordan Peterson in Episode 20: Fromm Right to Left, where we are joined by very special guest Dr. Neil McLaughlin. We discuss how market incentives have driven the “free speech” or “P-C” university crises and inadvertently fuelled right-wing populism, the differences between American and Canadian perceptions of public intellectuals like Noam Chomsky, and the relevance of materialist and post-materialist values for contemporary Canadian social movements. We talk narcissism on Twitter, Christopher Lasch, Zizek, the privilege discourse, Peterson’s “guru element,” and conclude that we should infiltrate the CBC.
