Show notes

Producer's note: We are reposting the most recent episode of Red Scare, TRN Podcast host Nick Estes' new(ish) media project. It is a very long episode on a new book by returning guest Gabriel Rockhill on the history of Western Marxism. We hope you enjoy it!

This is an intellectual world war. Gabriel Rockhill joins us to discuss his new book, Who Paid the Pipers of Western Marxism? We discuss the academic theory industry's role in coopting revolutionary Marxist thought and the constellation of forces arrayed against actually existing socialist projects.
