Would love to hear a discussion and/or debate between Rockhill and Yanis Varourfakis.

Damn! I like this guy. He's no "pointed-headed intellectual".

Sorry "Pointy-headed", as per George Wallace, was it?

Oh babe. You exemplify what you grieve.

Rockhill is PMC. Straight up. “I would be classified as…” is a non-admission which he immediately elides by trying to associate himself with the working class. He does this so you’ll disregard the self-serving nature of his provocations. He is an opportunist; here to sell his book. Bottom line.

@thedualtransition6070 4 месяца назад

Obviously you have little real knowledge of his work, or are intentionally misrepresenting it. Go read Gramsci to understand how this guys critique of the creation of a non-communist critical theory (and of course the Trotskyist perfectionist dead end) fits perfectly into Gramsci's work.

@WhatdidtheCountessdo 3 месяца назад

Can you unpack that? Because communism is when no iPhone isn't a material analysis of Rockhill's class loyalties nor a dialectical analysis of the failures of his thesis- Literally could have made that criticism of Marx or any of the academics at the Midwestern Marx Institute....Many Socialist and Communists have needed to sell books to live, because they are communists and socialists in a waged labor capitalist society even when they are in a bourgeois or aristocratic class...Class traitors were pretty critical to every liberatory revolution the last few centuries, so...?

Ya Lenin wouldn’t have much to say about your buddy Dominic Lusardo, or you for that matter. Your strategy for revolution is completely vague. Clearly some kind of apparatus means more to you than workers seizing power.

@KanyeDgit 5 месяцев назад

Workers might seize power but they won't maintain it without an ideological "apparatus". Personally, I don't see this in terms of 'socialism" vs 'capitalism' but in terms of 'public' vs 'private'. Capitalists would benefit from 'socialism', so called. Try telling them that, though.

An utter misrepresentation of the man's work and a pathetic attempt to diminish it. By the way its Losurdo. Perhaps not pure enough for your Trotskyist sensibilities? The man is talking about the need for the required War of Position that is required in modern bourgeois societies (Gramsci's arguments).
