Politics is the only practical discipline where none of the main terms have any clear consensus definitions. Scholars write entire books about things like capitalism, markets, socialism, government, democracy, politics, the left and right, without defining them, or really knowing what they’re talking about.
When such fundamental words have no meaning they can be manipulated by powerful people to pit potential allies against eachother, and to align people with their actual enemies, on top of making everyone generally more confused and apathetic than they would be otherwise.
If this was the situation in architecture or engineering we’d have buildings crashing down all around us. And this is exactly what’s happening in politics today.
The point of this podcast/youtube channel is make sense of all of this muddle so that we can all understand what’s going on all around us and figure what it is that we want when it comes to politics, and how we can achieve it.
