Philosophy: Philosophy: Who Needs It
Ayn RandBen Burgis@jackvlloyd @ModernDayDebate (And of course I'm more than happy to discuss whatever philosophical foundations you'd endorse--I've done multiple debates about Ayn Rand's philosophy and multiple ones about the Non-Aggression Principle/"taxation is theft"/etc. More than happy to do another!)

Juneteenth
Ralph EllisonBen Burgis@LemewPeter7461 Your ability to see into my mind is amazing. Especially because I seem to have all these false memories of, for example, hearing about Ralph Ellison's "Juneteenth" novel from a professor about 15 years ago.

History, Labour, and Freedom: Themes from Marx
G. A. CohenBen Burgis@jondavidchurch @profdavidharvey Have you read the essay on exploitation and the LTV in G.A. Cohen’s book “History, Labour and Freedom”? He argues that the two are entirely logically independent of each other (at least if the LTV is read in the technical way that economists who say it’s refuted have in mind).

Socialism
John Stuart MillBen Burgis@gdmorejon Even by the time, like, John Stuart Mill was writing, the forces that liberalism had been arrayed against had shifted enough that what extant liberalisms were like was really different--hence Mill sometimes saying things that were sort of socialism-curious.
