#EvoMorales #Bolivia
Nando Vila (https://twitter.com/nandorvila) joins Ben Burgis (https://twitter.com/BenBurgis) talk about Evo Morales, the head of the Movement for Socialism (MAS) party in Bolivia and the country’s longest-serving president.
Morales’s leadership concluded following a 2019 election that a court had ruled allowed Morales to run in, despite the implementation of term limits during his presidency. There were accusations of fraud and violent protests, and Morales fled to Argentina, where he received asylum.
Ben and Nando discuss the U.S.’s relationship with Latin America and how powerful the U.S. is economically as a global player despite it’s declining global reputation and esteem among its citizens.

Philosophy graduate student Jason Lee Byas (https://twitter.com/jasonleebyas) joins Ben Burgis to debate matters that are commonly held to be the most glaring flaws of Libertarianism. Mr. Byas is a proponent of the notion of a stateless society, and he challenges the “what about the roads” argument that so often is the frontline argument against a libertarian society.

Slavoj Zizek has written two books about the pandemic since it began: “Pandemic!: Covid-19 Shakes the World,” and “Pandemic! 2: Chronicles of a Time Lost.” The popular and prolific Slovenian philosopher joins Ben Burgis to talk about what the human costs of different political systems are when severe global problems, like a pandemic, happen. Zizek argues that having some semblance of social control over the economy yields better results for citizens.

NOTE: This was recorded before the most recent developments. We'll certainly talk more about this on the show soon!
Ana Kasparian and Ben Burgis discuss the Twitter Files. They agree that the way the story got rolled out and mixed up in the culture wars is unfortunate since there really were important revelations in there about state and corporate censorship. Red-vs.-blue sparring about stuff like Hunter Biden's laptop or the banning of Donald Trump matters less than, say, what kind of censorship requests were coming from the Pentagon or the rampant censorship of Palestinian accounts.

Writer, author, and podcast host Branko Marcetic joins Ben Burgis to discuss the life and career of politician and activist Mike Gravel. Gravel’s policy positions were widely derided and mocked at the time he put them forth and fought for them, but have been proven to have simply been ahead of their time in terms of the necessary popular support to push politicians to back those same positions.
Read Branko’s recent piece in “Jacobin”:
Mike Gravel Was on the Right Side of History: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2021/06/mike-gravel-obituary-alaska-senator-1930-2021
