On saving society from the antisocial-ists. In partnership with Damage magazine. [Patreon Exclusive] Trade unionist and researcher Dustin "Dino" Guastella joins us to talk about the deficiencies of a libertarian or antinomian approach to social problems. We start off with Dino telling us about the Teamsters union, before moving on to:* How have American cities developed such problems? * What are the pros and cons of the 'Portuguese Model' of drug decriminalization? * What is the problem with harm reduction, and how does it connect to notions of 'bare life'? * How are insecurity and precarity changing people's political demands and expectations? * Is there something to be learned from the Christian tradition? Should we all be reading Alasdair MacIntyre? * How do we build a politics of human flourishing?
