Our first in-studio guest! Ben and Cedric watch a clip of him and Briahna debating the concept of police abolition. Cedric does not think there's much theoretical or practical support for the position, while Briahna offers some rejoinders, including pointing out that abolition is a very long term goal. Afterward the clip, Cedric expands on his reasoning.
Cedric Johnson is a professor of African-American studies and political science at the University of Illinois at Chicago and author of, most recently, After Black Lives Matter: Policing and Anti-Capitalist Struggle from Verso Books:

Ben Burgis is joined by J. Andrew World, Jake Appet, and Djene Bajalan for some wild fun with PragerU. The PragerU cartoon people are time traveling again, which means we’ll definitely encounter some racism or misogyny or genocide of indigenous peoples that PragerU will find a way to tell us was an awesome event in history. This time, these two travel to Victorian England, so that they can extol the wondrous virtues of brutal colonialism. Yes! What a fanciful time full of frivolity and gaiety for all!

Ben Burgis and Stefan Bertram-Lee Talk About Ben's essay "Look Who's Talking: G.A. Cohen on Israeli Condemnations of Palestinian Terrorism":
https://benburgis.substack.com/p/look-whos-talking-ga-cohen-on-israeli
Let's take it is a given that terrorist attacks targeting civilians are never justifiable. Does it follow that everyone has an equal right to condemn them? G.A. Cohen didn't think so. Ben and Stefan discuss.
