Alex Kopytko is a ”radical centrist” that wants to understand the extremes. He has worked in politics and has studied public policy and political science. Alex argues that centrism is less about being a contrarian, it is about being able to change your mind and embrace an openness to new ideas. He is concerned about where the United States is headed and through conversations with people from all sides of the political spectrum, he wants to know how Americans can limit the tribalism that is flourishing. As someone that dances along the center-right of the political spectrum, Alex thinks the country needs to come together and talk to one another before it could be too late. This podcast covers domestic politics, as well as political philosophy, and international issues.

In this episode, Alex sits down with Cole Costello to discuss socialism, the future of capitalism, and what people get wrong about Karl Marx. Cole is a friend and currently in the graduate program for history at Cal State Los Angeles, focusing on early twentieth-century American urban/race/labor history. Cole falls somewhere on the left, with some Marxist tendencies and a sense of loss and confusion in modern politics. In this episode, some topics they discuss/debate are -
- Does the US system still work?
- What Marxism actually means and would it work in a country like the US?
- Is the US heading towards a Civil War or conflict?
- What does history tell us about socialism? And why did the Soviet Union fail?
- Is Capitalism the best system?
- Should there be billionaires?
