The Skeptical Leftist Podcast Cory Johnston

In this episode we talk science and socialism as we go through the scientific revolution that came from Darwin’s theory of evolution and Marx’s theory of socialism and how the two theories intersect.

In this episode I talked to Daniel about some of the arguments I’ve seen from non-leftists or non-anarchist leftists. We also talk a little bit about some of the great work that local organizers in my city and where Daniel is, are doing. Daniel is a great resource for information about anarchism and organizing and if you want to learn more you should definitely head over to his channel and subscribe.

In this interview I talked to Ali Horriyat, founder of Compassiviste. Ali left the lucrative, profit-driven world of finance in 2016 to devote himself to his vision of a society where compassion, empathy, and social impact are at the heart of our actions. In 2020, he launched Compassiviste to spread this vision. Born in Dubai, he attended schools in the UAE, France and Switzerland before pursuing his higher education in Canada. He holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in economics, political science, philosophy, business, international relations and conflict resolution, and religion. Ali is the author of 12 books, including collections of essays and poetry, with themes ranging from racism and capitalism to spirituality, love and compassion. He believes that humans must “love always, and always love.”

We talk a lot about the organization he founded, Compassiviste, and all the things surrounding it from sustainability to hypocrisy to compassion and how his view of things doesn’t differ so much from the views of anarchists, or at least this anarchist. 

Here are some links where you can find Compassiviste and maybe Ali while you’re there
