Dozens of GTAA YouTube streams seem to have been accidentally deleted somehow. We think this was a glitch rather than YouTube taking them down on purpose but we're still looking into what's going on. This is just a quick update to fill everyone in and maybe take a few chat questions while we're at it.

We were planning something else for today, but since Jennifer had to leave the Wednesday Movie Livestream on "A Clockwork Orange" before she got a chance to talk about the philosophical issues raised by the movie, today we're going to be using the movie as a jumping off point for a discussion of retributivism, consequentialism, and whatever other philosophical issues the discussion leads us to--this one should be fun.

Matt Bruenig joins Ben Burgis to talk about what a viable fully socialist society might look like and how we could get there. Should be fun. In the postgame for patrons, Djene Bajalan discusses how the revolution going on right now in Iran is all the result of every single Iranian being mind-controlled by the CIA. (Pretty sure that's what he's going to say. At any rate, we'll find out!)

Ben Burgis debates Compact magazine founder Sohrab Ahmari on "post-liberalism". Compact's statement of editorial vision calls for "a strong social-democratic state that defends community — local and national, familial and religious — against a libertine left and a libertarian right."
Ben critiqued that vision and defended the libertine left in an article for Jacobin shortly after Compact's launch:
