Welcome back! This week is a short break from Kapital as I cover a common left idiom -- Pessimism of the Intellect, Optimism of the Will -- from Antonio Gramsci and think about how that philosophy can help us understand dialectics as well as, more importantly, how the left can have a coherent political project in 2020.

Thanks for your support!
