/356/ Land of the Unfree ft. Sohrab Ahmari
🕑 Added 2023-08-08 06:10:03 +0000 UTCOn everyday, private tyranny.
Sohrab Ahmari, one of the editors of Compact Magazine, joins us to talk about his book, Tyranny, Inc. We discuss the sorts of private coercion that are found in the US workplace and marketplace, rather than originate with the state – and how relatively uncommon it is for a conservative like Ahmari to follow that line of critique.
Also: the NY Post's scathing front covers, alliances between socialists and conservatives, the world of JG Ballard's Super Cannes, and critiquing the right from the right and the left from the left.

There's a name for "a conservative New Dealer." Dixiecrat.

Was a good conversation but the hosts should've grilled Ahmari harder on his neocon days. The alienation, the impoverishment and private tyranny that he is making a big deal of now were already developing even in the early 2000's. How come he did not see them, or did not think they were important?
