Today, Doctors Liu, Kang, and Kim are joined by Doctor Sarah Leonard, publisher of the soon-to-launch Lux magazine (named after socialist extraordinaire Rosa Luxemburg).

0:00 \\u2013 We respond to accusations of COVID-19 denialism by comparing the US\\u2019s lockdown + welfare policies to those of the rest of the (Euro-American) world: Tammy on Canada\\u2019s robust wage subsidy and deficit spending; Andy on Sweden\\u2019s controversial decision to do voluntary lockdowns (even leftists are fighting over it); and Jay on the German advantage of strong infrastructure.

39:45 \\u2013 Sarah talks about why she created Lux magazine, a socialist, feminist glossy! (Think: Marxist Vogue.) We discuss girl-boss corporate feminism, why there should be more than one socialist outlet, the virtues of social reproduction theory, and who deserves pleasure. Preview issue one here!
