Heading back to Atlanta after the debate earlier this weekend. Since the task of debunking never ends my reading on this flight is “American Marxism” by Mark Levin (to review for @jacobin w/@MattPolProf). https://t.co/VL7zgKOiJT

@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!)

@ShalMarriott @jacobin @cafreiman Funnily enough yesterday I was reading Cohen's India travelogue from Finding Oneself in the Other and his casual reference to drinking Talisker in the airport bar made me smile.

@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.

@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).

I fully expect .01% of the people who buy my political books to be interested in this one, but I'm still excited about it--my academic monograph "Logic Without Gaps or Gluts" is coming out next month: https://link.springer.com/book/9783030946234

@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.
