Tony Kushner and Jeremy McCarter: Radical Stories



Here's an interesting dialogue with a few questions answered at the end.  I think Tony Kushner is the kind of radical who is more radical for understanding that there's nothing more radical than the possible at any given point.   I'm sure we'd disagree on some things, I'm entirely disenchanted with Marxists and think it was always an obviously catastrophic. anti-democratic horror due to its materialism.   But I don't know, you really can't pin him down as some have.   There's always more to his thinking than the bullet points version of ersatz intellectualism can encompass. 

What he said last December is still remarkably up to date, though what he said about #MeToo already, sadly, seems dated.  I don't know if that could be related to what he said about the mistake of Bernie Sanders to run for president but it feels like it might be.

You've got to do something to take your mind off of being sick.
