Episode 20: Moralism, A Problem For The Left

Moralism: A problem for the left Moralism -- which assumes that moral judgment can change society and thinks about people and what they do as either good or bad -- is a powerful influence today. It's a barrier to thinking about social structures, how change happens, and left strategy. Barnaby Raine and Vanessa Wills dissect what moralism is, how it affects the left, why it's so influential, how socialists should respond to it, and the place of ethics in socialist politics.
