We discuss Prof. Gabriel Rockhill's article published here: thephilosophicalsalon.com/the... Thanks so much to Prof. Rockhill for his great work, check him out here: gabrielrockhill.com
Gabriel Rockhill consistently provides an informed, nuanced, and accessible critique of critical theory. I highly recommend his interviews and articles.
Perhaps Rockhill can offer some insight into Chinese energy companies transferring tens of millions of dollars to the Biden family over the past 15 years. You can't make this up.
53:00 Rockhill's answer to the question about actually existing socialism is incredibly spot on. Can't be repeated enough in the West. Had to come back to re-listen.
@@hunniebun4454 Alot of western leftists are now trashing anti-colonialism as the reason why socialism had failed to materialize in the west. Its so pathetic what these ppl had turned into.
I'm speechless. Really extremely good. Alot of stuff i have come to the same conclusion but he can so easy explain it to another people. I feel almost stupid :.)
Does Rockhill provide any critique of the rapidly growing billionaire class and overall class divide fully underway in China? Strangely this is never dealt with head on by the western online left.
I'm reading Gabriel Rockhill's essay on CIA and the Frankfurt. What level of influence did the Frankfurt School have with the OSS, specifically the denazification of Germany post WW2?
The last two minutes snd 59 seconds of the sound of this video are cut off for me. If this not just for me, why is this and where are they please? Thank you very much indeed.
the compatible left and the non-compatible Left is a good concept. / though, i found Marcuse and Zizek to help me to change my own perception and behavior, and certainly my relationship to media and institutions, and increased my awareness of the overall structure of society. So i don't agree that they are hoodwinking potential activists. They got me to read more philosophy. I didnt know that Marcuse said that we shouldnt lose sleep over Vietnam. Wow. I appreciate this critique but yet i don't agree with all of the opinions about the effects of these theorists. I do despise the fake left though. The trendy fake vanity which is rampant and overturning institutions like art museums and natural history museums and any art, really; the wokeism. As for changing the structure of society to transform class exploitation.... it's getting worse every day in the US. You think that's going to change from protests? Like the prison system, for example. People protest, prisoners do hunger strikes.. labor strikes.... and more and more for- profit prisons are built. It's slave labor. Will the real Left emerge? I thought looking back to Marcuse was better than the wokeist posturing and poison of today.
To keep NATO nukes off his huge border. To stop killing ethnic Russians. Remember the Minsk accords? Yeah. 12 years ago Putin requested protecting of their national security. The west lied, broke promises and were two faced hypocrites. This war never had to happen. 500,000 killed in war bc the West thinks it owns everyone. Putin conducted a textbook example of how to conduct war, save civilians; while he was schooling with education displaced Ukrainian children, Ukraine was selling s-x slaves and body parts. Putin tried to join NATO twice. Can you imagine why his request for protection was denied...? The most propagandized war in history. Glory to Russia. The West is evil. They don't care one wit about Ukraine, or those lost. NOT ONE WIT. Sad. Peace to those who lost their lives.
