One of the key intellectuals of our movement today, his latest work explores ideas that are essential to understanding the challenges and necessities in building a socialist movement\u2014especially for those of us living in the West. Starting with a talk from the author, followed by a discussion with a guest panel and an audience Q&amp;amp;A \u2013 this will be an important evening to explore the past, present, and future of socialist thought, and the principles we need to uphold in order to succeed (which the ruling class desperately wants us to abandon). Featuring an exciting guest panel, including: Sina Rahmani (co-host) Sardana Nikolaeva Justin Podur Zeyad El-Nabolsy Special thanks to our partners in co-organizing this event: Qiao Collective (@qiaocollective)  Critical Theory Workshop (@criticaltheoryworkshop)  Monthly Review (@monthlyreview)  East is a Podcast (@eastpodcast)  And to our additional media partners: Anti-Empire Project (@jpodur) Journal of International Solidarity (@journalofintlsolidarity) --- ABOUT THE BOOK: \u201cRockhill\u2019s book elucidates how the intellectual world war on the socialist alternative has sought to promote a \u201ccompatible left\u201d intelligentsia while misrepresenting, maligning, and trying to destroy the revolutionary left. [\u2026] The volume concludes by bringing to the fore the guiding methodological framework: a thoroughly anticolonial and anti-imperialist Marxism dedicated to building socialism in the real world.\u201d More info at Monthly Review Press: https:\/\/monthlyreview.org\/9781685901349\/ Canada: Available at most online book sellers, including University of Toronto Bookstore:  https:\/\/utpdistribution.com\/9781685901349\/who-paid-the-pipers-of-western-marxism\/ ","author_name":"The East is a Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/www.eastpodcast.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/40052775\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/198408375"}
