Privilege Theory vs. the Underprivileged w/ Zaid Jilani

Zaid Jilani joins us to discuss a recent study that raises serious doubts about the ability of “privilege theory” to fight the oppressive dynamics of capitalist society. We discuss privilege theory, talk about its failures and its inability to capture the complexities of life, exploitation, and oppression, and then offer some socialist solutions.
