Many serious leftists have learned to distrust talk of logic and logical fallacies, associated with right-wing 'logicbros'. This is a serious mistake. Unlike the neoliberal technocrats, who can point to social problems and tell people 'trust us', the serious Left must learn how to argue and persuade. In Give Them an Argument, Ben Burgis arms his reader with the essential knowledge of formal logic and informal fallacies.
