Because dialogue is better than stupid debates on Twitter and having them devolve into Marxology and left beefs, we will do this here. This is brought to you by patrons of VarnVlog. While this episode is available as a public stream, the audio will be for patrons only. You may want to check out Nicolas Villareal's recent article. You may also want to listen to this.
