Debunking Democracy on Shoshana Zuboff & Russell Brand

Shoshana is the author of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism and has been called the Karl Marx of our era. She debates with Russell on whether "a spiritual solution under autocracy is a fringe thing, full of despair that can't be realized", and only democracy can save us. Russell states that incremental reformism is an insipid milksop inoculating against real change. I explain why Russell is right and Shoshana is wrong, along with looking at the politics of narcissism and what a Marxism for our era would look like.
