Who Paid the Pipers of Western Marxism? w/ Gabriel Rockhill

Philosopher Gabriel Rockhill joins Steve Grumbine on Macro N Cheese to uncovering the CIA's and US National Security State's covert war on anti-imperialist Marxism, and how they funded, promoted, and sanitized a toothless "Western Marxism" to discredit real revolutionary socialism. The episode dissects Rockhill's meticulously researched thesis: the US Empire recognizes that the "war of ideas" is primary. To protect the super-profits of imperialism, it systematically undermined the global socialist project not just with coups and assassinations (like Che Guevara's), but by infiltrating academia and culture to promote a depoliticized, academic "Marxism" that is disconnected from class struggle and anti-imperialist praxis. Rockhill traces how the CIA and related agencies cultivated a "fake left" of intellectuals (e.g., figures from the Frankfurt School, Gloria Steinem, and others), creating a "theory industrial complex" that circulates commodities of thought rather than tools for liberation. The conversation champions dialectical and historical materialism as the essential, scientific framework for understanding this system and for reconnecting with the revolutionary, anti-imperialist Marxism of the Global South. #CIA #Marxism #ClassStruggle #Imperialism #DialeticalMaterialism #HistoricalMarxism #GlobalSouth #FakeLeft Chapters: 00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction 01:11 The Absence of Class Struggle in the U.S. 01:30 Introducing Gabriel Rockhill's Book 02:51 Che Guevara and the CIA's Intellectual War 10:13 The U.S. Empire's Fear of Communism 17:27 Historical and Dialectical Materialism 25:02 The Evolution of Marxism and Class Struggle 30:28 Western Marxism and U.S. Propaganda 33:27 Complicity of Intellectuals with the CIA 34:08 Notable Figures and Their CIA Connections 35:37 Journalists and the CIA 35:46 Challenges in Documenting Modern Collaborations 40:34 Personal Transformations and Intellectual Journeys 49:20 The Theory Industrial Complex 57:35 The Need for a Genuine Left Movement 01:00:46 Conclusion and Future Directions Weaponize Knowledge with Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) Please help our Real Progressives efforts in spreading and become a monthly donor!
