We've teased it for the past couple episodes, and now the time has come for The Epoch's discussion on Dialectical Materialism. Unfortunately, Sarah could not join in but Jesse carries us through a breakdown of struggle of opposites, the development of societies and societal-relationships within the larger context of human development, the worker's relationship to the owner, the tools, and means of production, how these factors impact the structure of our social relationships, and how we can use dialectical materialism in a modern context. Before that, Joe delivers the Black Pilled News we've to come to love, LE talks about libertarians and bears, and Scott askes one Debbie Dingell, if she is single.
