Mr. Burns, eco-warrior (ft. Evan from Kino Lefter)

Show Notes

It's the crossover you were waiting for, babeey.

We watched a couple classic Simpsons episodes with Evan MacDonald (@MacDonaldTweets) of the world's #1 socialist film criticism podcast (to us), Kino Lefter.

We use this to inform our discussion Postmedia bench warmer Matthew Lau's column on how Mr. Burns would support a Green New Deal.

Yes, you read that correctly. Lau argues that this caricature of capitalist excess who tries to block out the sun so Springfield will have to depend on his (private) power monopoly, is an ecosocialist.

It may not surprise you to learn that his argument is incredibly shallow and flimsy.
