Description

My guest today is former NYU professor Michael Rectenwald. He is an author of several books including, "Springtime For Snowflakes:Social Justice And It's Postmodern Parentage". We discuss his wild journey from an avowed Marxist to a free market libertarian and the subsequent fallout when he defected from the ideologically homogenous blob that made up his peer group within the university system. We get into post modernism, post structuralism, social justice warrior ideology and the other philosophies that poison modern leftism and the modern university campuses.  Find Michael here:  Find me here : Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel

The Counterflow Podcast is a weekly show featuring discussions and interviews with people who are outside of and critical toward mainstream liberal and conservative politics. Counterflow challenges the conventional right/left binary and is concerned with the more important distinction of free vs unfree. The show features thinkers from all backgrounds, who do not fit into the narrow framework of fashionable opinion. The show addresses cultural and lifestyle issues as well as philosophy and politics. Host Buck Johnson (formerly of the Death To Tyrants Podcast) is a musician and firefighter and has always had an interest and drive to go one way while everyone else runs the other direction.
