Episode 22: The Left Case Against Prison Abolition and 'Harm Reduction' Drug Policies
53 minutes long. Link to audio file. Link directly to this episode.
This episode addresses the idea of prison abolition and the liberal so-called 'harm reduction' drug policies that are both considered radical in North America. We critique these from a socialist leftwing perspective, also touching on the legalisation of prostitution, and draw these together as forms of abandoning - and profiteering from - the most vulnerable in society, particularly women at the bottom of our class system.
