About this episode

The episode critiques Senator Slotkin's use of her great-grandfather's story to promote capitalist ideals while dismissing socialism.

If Senator Slotkin wants to use her great-grandfather’s story to attack socialism, she’d better start telling the whole truth—because the next generation is telling theirs, and they’re not buying what she’s selling.
