It was a pleasure to speak with Jyotishman Mudiar on “India & Global Left” about my research on the global theory industry, anti-communism, identity politics, fascism, and the international struggle for socialism. The episode is entitled “Prof. Rockhill on Postmodernism, Socialism, Identity Politics & Fascism.”
It was a pleasure to discuss my research on the global theory industry and the U.S. national security state with Aaron Good. The episode is entitled “Operation Pomo.”
It was a pleasure to be interviewed by Bakar Berekashvili for the journal 42 Parallel (the interview is dubbed in Georgian).
I had a very productive conversation with Maria Cernat and Boyan Stanislavski for “On the Barricades.” We discussed the history of the global theory industry, anti-communist efforts to shore up the compatible Left, the dynamics of cultural imperialism and their relationship to right-wing opportunism, the rise of fascism, the place of China in contemporary geopolitics, the limits of Freudo-Marxism and intellectual syncretism, Žižek’s record of selling out the people for the advancement of his own career, and more.
It was a pleasure to discuss my recent critique of Slavoj Zizek with Greg Wilpert, situating it in relation to my larger book project on the compatible left intelligentsia & its war on actually existing socialism.
“Slavoj Zizek: Capitalism’s Court Jester?,” ZNetwork, February 9, 2023.
I greatly enjoyed this conversation with The Cadre Journal. We began by discussing the two articles below and my book project on The Intellectual World War, but we then expanded the conversation to address larger issues regarding student radicalism, US imperialism, the rise of fascism, etc. Click here to listen to it on Spotify.
