Episode 584 – America First Is Incompatible w/ Anti-Imperialism: Taking Down the Compatible Right (w/ Gabriel Rockhill)

Philosopher and author of Who Paid the Pipers of Western Marxism?, Gabriel Rockhill, returns to Bad Faith to expand on his criticism of the “compatible left” — a type of reformist leftist who is elevated by the establishment due to their unwillingness to support actually existing socialism. A recent hit piece on Chris Smalls in Jacobin, unqualified support for mercenary Graham Platner — how does Rockhill interpret what’s going on with the establishment left, and what does he make of the right’s leadership on criticism of Palestine? Is Tucker’s “America First” politics fundamentally incompatible with imperialism?
