Douglas Lain and Freddie deBoer discuss his new book "How Elites Ate the Social Justice Movement." They explore why left movements fail. In the digital age, social movements flare up but then lose steam through a lack of tangible goals, the inherent moderating effects of our established institutions and political parties, and the lack of any real grassroots movement in contemporary America.School of Materialist Research Linkhttps://schoolofmaterialistresearch.org/Integrated-Credit-Program-Fall-Semester-2023-2024 How Elites Ate the Social Justice Movement by Fredrik deBoerhttps://www.simonandschuster.com/books/How-Elites-Ate-the-Social-Justice-Movement/Fredrik-deBoer/9781668016015Support Sublation Media https://patreon.com/dietsoap

The Diet Soap podcast began in 2009 in response to the economic crisis of 2008. Since then it has gone through many transformations, including becoming the podcast for a critical theory imprint out of the UK. Today the Diet Soap podcast is running under its original name for Sublation Media.Sublation Media includes a book publishing effort for critical theory and left politics, a magazine that covers current events and theoretical issues, youtube videos on theory and politics, and finally the Diet Soap podcast. The podcast is where we continue to interrogate the left and each other while having a good time.
