"Cancel Culture," and the culture wars in general, are obstructing the ability to produce a political project that addresses the material needs of poor and working class Americans in the current age of constricting capitalism. Professor Ben Burgis in his new book, "Cancelling Comedians While the World Burns," attempts to chart a way out of this morass by offering a critique of the contemporary left that illustrates the internal obstacles that make expanding its political reach difficult.

On this episode of This is Revolution we will ask Ben Burgis, "Can the left save itself from itself?"
