This weekend, Jeff recaps his recent talk in Houston entitled "Socialist Left vs. alt-Right: What it Means for Liberty" (https://youtu.be/NxkV-A5dBZc)—a talk which generated plenty of comments from libertarians, progressives, and the alt-Right. Jeff discusses why we should celebrate the death of supposed "democratic consensus," why the progressive left doesn't care about winning votes, how the alt-Right turns identity politics against social justice warriors, and what libertarians should learn from populism and even demagoguery.
