417: Hypothetical carbon sucking machine gosplan (w/yungneocon)
We are joined by everyone's favorite tweet thread boi, @yungneocon, to talk about whether Soviet-style central planning is any more or less capable of addressing ecological crises than capitalism. We also discuss our favorite leftist policy guy, Matty B.

230: Corporations are Fetal States
Ryan had to go to a wedding this weekend, so we couldn't do an episode this week. Instead we're releasing this old episode about corporations as organs of the state.
