<html><p>What's the relationship between libertarianism or radical liberalism and the ideas of the left? Most place them in clear and direct opposition, and argue that liberty advocates should have more affinity for conservatism, at least in its American variety.</p><p><br/></p><p>My guest today argues otherwise. Akiva Malamet (<a href="https://twitter.com/akiva_malamet" target="_blank">@akiva_malamet</a>), a writer and philosopher, and contributor to my old website, <a href="http://libertarianism.org" target="_blank">Libertarianism.org</a>.</p><p><br/></p><p>We discuss the shared concerns those of us who see radical liberty have with the political left, but also draw important distinctions between socialism and liberalism.</p><p><br/></p><p>(Here's <a href="https://www.libertarianism.org/articles/reconciling-libertarian-and-leftist-views-power-and-equality" target="_blank">the article</a> on libertarian and leftist views of power that Akiva and I discuss.)</p><p><br/></p><p><em>ReImagining Liberty is a project of </em><em><a href="https://www.theunpopulist.net" target="_blank">The UnPopulist</a></em><em>, and is produced by </em><em><a href="https://landryayres.com/" target="_blank">Landry Ayres</a></em><em>.
