Original Show Notes:

**Producer's note: The folks at Popular Front asked me to moderate this discusssion of Gabriel Rockhill's latest book on the history of the Frankfurt School. Make sure to check out Popular Front!

Unfortunately, my recording software crashed 75 mins into the episode, so I had to use the (notably inferior) backup camera feed from that point on. **

We’re thrilled to host author and philosopher Gabriel Rockhill on his book tour in Toronto. 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—especially 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&A – 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

ABOUT THE BOOK:
“Rockhill’s book elucidates how the intellectual world war on the socialist alternative has sought to promote a “compatible left” intelligentsia while misrepresenting, maligning, and trying to destroy the revolutionary left. […] 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.”
