Antooshka and Mr. X also get into a lengthy discussion at the end about Reddit and the pros/cons of reading people you don't completely agree with.

  • PDAMX#21.1 - Communists are Individualists?

    Hello, today we begin discussing Herbert Marcuse's "One-Dimensional Man", which you could say offers a critical critique of society in the mid 20th century. He's an avowed neo-marxist and historical materialist, and Antooshka can't quite figure out how to feel about him.
