tbh after 1917, the best leftist intellectuals like Gramsci and Walter Rodney are likely to get murdered or jailed. This is why podcasts stay mediocre. if Will Menaker embraces Marxist-Leninist Thought, the feds will put a bomb into his podcasting equipment.

Due to things like the internet, public domain, and widespread literacy public intellectuals seem a lot less necessary now. All the essential M-L writing of the last 175 years is available for free in multiple languages and formats. Obv not everyone has the time or ability to read it/listen to it but broadly speaking the working class is as educated as it's ever been and reading theory/discussing theory is easier than ever. I'm sure public intellectuals still have a place in leftist movements but obv they should not be at the forefront of them

I'm sure public intellectuals still have a place in leftist movements but obv they should not be at the forefront of them I still think there's a place for a modern Chomsky or Parenti to contextualize modern events, and I think people like Vijay Prashad or even Michael Brooks (from what I've seen of him RIP) are doing this. Leftist podcasts on the other hand are loving boring.

Michael Brooks was liberal garbage and the way “leftists” keep deifying him is gross. He was good at hoodwinking the poor into identifying with their neoliberal oppressors in the Democrat Party, I’ll give him that. He also worked for MSNBC shill Sam Seder.

R.Сам is killing it today. He's wrong about his analysis of the left, like confusing radlib exotericism with radlib esotericism and not acknowledging the (unrelated) schizo-Christian throughline, but all his takes are inspired and he's got Nick Land mad at him. Where is the equivalent with Matt Christman gloriously taunting Zizek? Nowhere.

This thread's lack of Phil Greaves is shameful. Also I thank Chomsky for all his good work, but he should retire so he can focus on his true passion, genocide denial. There are multiple genocides he could be denying right now, so I feel it's cruel to demand that he continue to be an intellectual.

Chris Hedges and Cornell West are very good. (and Orb Mother, from like a more spiritual perspective. YMMV)

i haven't read any of zizek's books, so i can't say if he's good or not, ultimately. but he did the left a huge favor in owning jordan peterson, so maybe zizek counts

Finicums Wake posted:chomsky kind of sucks, but not because he likes denying genocides. stick to video games I'm open to the idea that Chomsky sucks for many reasons, but I regard genocide denial as a sucky thing so I will keep that on the list of Chomsky's multi-faceted suckitude. Feel free to add to the list. If you think genocide denial is not a sucky thing then maybe you're the one in the wrong forum? I'm sure you can find other places to hang out with your fellow tankies.

Cambodian I'm guessing, and he also gets accused of denying Srebrenica as a genocide (I don't know much about the whole Yugoslav confilct) . Edward Herman (the guy who wrote most of Manafacturing Consent) also denies the Rwandan genocide.

And Matt Christman making Zizek mad would show that Matt is willing to say anything, although I can't imagine Zizek ever getting in a Twitter dispute. If he's mad at someone he just writes an article where he uses his anger as a jumping off point for some bigger argument. Wheeee posted:which genocide is he denying again Bosnian and Cambodian. Denying a genocide is also good evidence that someone is just a pundit and a pseud because genocide denial is always for politically convenient reasons.
