“People who know what kind of new world they want to create through revolution are trouble enough; those who only know what they want to destroy are a curse. If you want to save America’s soul, consider becoming a minister. If you want to force people to confess their sins and convert, don a white robe and head to the River Jordan. If you are determined to bring the Last Judgment down on the United States of America, become a god. But if you want to win the country back from the right, and bring about lasting change for the people you care about, it’s time to descend from the pulpit. We’re all Americans and we owe that to each other. That’s what liberalism means. For the first time in living memory, we liberals have no ideological adversary worthy of the name. So it is crucial that we look beyond Trump.”In this episode, taped back in summer of 2018, I talk with Dr. Mark Lilla about his book The Once and Future Liberal: After Identity Politics.Mark Lilla is Professor of the Humanities at Columbia University and a prizewinning essayist for the New York Review of Books and other publications worldwide.

Andrew Doyle is a stand up comedian and satirist who's written for Jonathan Pie, created the parody twitter character Titania McGrath, writes for Spiked Online and runs a "free-thinking" comedy night in London called Comedy Unleashed. But, unlike others who criticise social justice and the "woke movement", Andrew comes at these issues from a Leftist perspective.   Here we chat about why Andrew is so concerned about "wokeness" and how he sees it affecting society, comedy and free speech. We cover the state of Brexit (and why he thinks voting to Remain isn't a left-wing position), fascism and his attitude towards how his work is interpreted.  You can be a hero in this world and support this show by becoming a Patron now if you like ENOUGH is on at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival NOW! 9pm at the Monkey Barrel, pay to reserve a ticket or Pay What You Feel on exit Then ENOUGH is at the Soho Theatre from Monday September 2nd Check out my new podcast with Audible, What’s the Story? @andrewdoyle_com @TitaniaMcGrath andrewdoyle.co.uk Andrew's writing at Spiked Online Andrew's show Exodus at the Edinburgh Fringe  Titania McGrath's Mxnifesto at the Edinburgh Fringe Woke: A Guide To Social Justice by Titania Mcgrath Alistair Williams' twitter account @awilliamscomedy Oscar Wilde's The Soul of Man Under Socialism  The Once and Future Liberal by Mark Lilla on Amazon Inside London's "free speech" comedy night by Yohann Koshy for Vice Cause of the Week: Action With Effect (actionwitheffect.org)
