Note: this content (CRT) is NOT being offered in elementary schools. Yeh, just confirming that. Loved it, give me more.
Is professor Rockhill criticizing Enrique Dussel in this video?
Is there any Marxist inspired government that has not increased the wealth inequality between government officials and the working class Sure you get your equality but it seems to be equality in the fact that more and more people are ruled by fewer and fewer people so it gives the illusion of equality
this is extremely cynical use of valid and stragetically maximally vague statements to justify the Kissingerian capitalist ruling class of China's highly profitable and superbly compatible collaboration with and assistance to fascist regimes (India, Saudi Arabia, Israel, US, UN occupation of Haiti) in their anticommunist and anti-anticolonial bloodbaths. You're trying to make a formula, a dogma and cliché by which you may label the military occupation of Haiti and the delivery of materiel, money and legitimacy to Israel now as a practise of building socialism by non Europeans (despite the fact that most profits from this are exported from China to wall street), and to insist that even the sadistic butchery and maiming of Palestinian children must be above criticism, and indeed applauded and assisted, if undertaken by the transnational ruling class in the name of eventual communism in some very distant future, after everyone enjoying the fruits of this world-destroying crime, in which you seem to be partaking yourselves, are long dead.
One thing that media doesn't want us to know is that Germany was also socialist. It wasn't called just nazi like in Hollywood movies but national-socialist workers party (NSDAP). 3rd Reich Germany was socialist. There were many foreign soldiers that fought for Germany from French, Croatian, Serbian, American, Central Asians, Armenian and even Russian! People admired Hitler not only in Austria and Germany but in many other countries too. After loosing WWII human are again being slaves of the elite. Good work naive people that followed at that time orders blindly! We human deserve our situation...
13:07 Oliver Twist was written at the height of "European" colonialism.

About Europe, not all Europeans are E. PIIGS are not, east Europe is not, France is maybe... It's endless.
Wonderful information. Thanks for sharing 🎊🎊
Ya if i say any of this stuff to my doctor I'll get locked in a psych ward (again) but I actually have a history degree

"social cartographies" "the project of imperial global conquest is not something thats part of the past, its something that has ongoing iterations that often mask the ways in which the very same things are going on behind the scenes but are being presented as if things have changed"
Wasn't the g-word deemed a slur in 1970???
The cartography exposition is so insightful
Gabriel has a beautiful mind. He is teaching me a great deal about thinking well. Thank you.
When the working class rise up the left call them racist. The confusion is astounding.
Leninism. Like believing the world is flat. Rosa Luxembourg denounced Lenin. Quite rightly.
Lenin was the big imperialist. Read some history. Unbelievable nonsense.
Is this guy a joke? Lenin led a coup d’etat against the democratic forces in Russia. As no less a person than Chomsky has explained (find it on TH-cam). And he has worked with this crude ideologue?
Chomsky is a vociferous critic of Lenin. Quite rightly. Why does he collaborate with this Leninist?
Antifa is a fascist movement obviously.
Gabriel is working for the CIA whether he knows it or not.
This analysis is on point but had I no experience with philosophy I'd be lost af lol
Oh my god I just squeaked when I saw the thumbnail and who was in it! Gonna have my wife translate lol
I'm a generation older than Rockhill, and it's good to see younger scholars understand post-modern philosophy as the ideological hand maiden of neoliberalism.
i'm totally a pinko commie and fanboy of Gabriel Rockhill and i can't stand to listen to your shitty audio. take a minute and figure out how to produce a decent video because your low production values are not getting clicks.
Get some lavalier mics (they're cheap) for the speakers' collars; Or as other commenters have pointed out, a boom or shotgun mic if managing multiple mics is difficult.
Crazy how things have turned out for midwestern MAGA
Wow. You guys rock. 💪🏽 We rock……
It seems to me that the Dems represent the internationalist wing of the bourgeois (globalist) and Republicans are the nationalist wing. Both have fascist orientations in their respective roles, one that focuses their violence abroad the other at home.
Professor Rockhill is one of the most brilliant and honest Marxist theorists around these days!
Great work by Rockhill, however he is missing something from his analysis. He speaks of Tactics and Strategy, but did not speak of the Operational. A key concept in use by the Soviet Union to defeat the Nazis, the operational level is what set the Red Army apart from the rest.
The Soviet union used three levels of military planning for war, Tactical, Operational and Strategic.
Not before China and Russia have broken the back of western hegemony we will see what socialism in China or elsewhere does really mean. All before was a fight to survive as a nation threatened by the colonizers. Russia could fight Nazi germany, but not the combined west. China understood this lesson.
GREAT CONTENT
Marxism was Eurocentric and not representative of either the development of modes of production, the structures of power and the development of history from an Ethiopian perspective. Especially as we managed to avoid falling into European colonialism (we were only colonized in 1991 by the US) - and our ability to avoid colonial subjugation was directly related to sets of economic policies and an approach to pluralistic expression of power (hard fought in both battle and historical narrative) it matters. Marxists need to understand and respond to Ethiopia as a historical force that defeated British, French, Turkish and Italian colonial aspirations. And as an Ethiopian Marxist - it seems to me non-Ethiopian Marxists still do not
One thing more I want to say is that in 1987, China officially proposed that during the primary stage of socialism (a very lengthy process, which Comrade Deng Xiaoping believed might last at least a century), our country should follow "one central task and two basic points," namely, "focusing on economic development, upholding the Four Cardinal Principles, and continuing the policy of reform and opening-up." The Four Cardinal Principles are: "First, we must adhere to the socialist path; second, we must uphold the dictatorship of the proletariat (later revised to People's democratic dictatorship); third, we must uphold the leadership of the Communist Party of China; and fourth, we must uphold Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought."
In China, many young people, including myself, are very disgusted with the Western New Left (I mean those Eurocentric or American-centric individuals who side with imperialism), much like Lenin criticized the Social Democrats in his time. These people, in reality, only further divide the left and are good for nothing else. None of them have successfully established a socialist state or regime, yet they arrogantly criticize the Soviet Union and China without understanding the practical difficulties of building and developing a socialist country. Moreover, they fail to recognize that we live in a world dominated by imperialism, where hostility towards socialist countries is pervasive. These individuals might not even score well in a Marxist-Leninist philosophy exam, yet they pretend to be qualified to give misguided advice. My three comments are not related to the content of the video; I am just using this opportunity to express my own opinions. Carlos's views on China in the video are basically correct.
Another point I need to emphasize is that the reason we embarked on the reform and opening-up at the end of 1978 was primarily due to the extremely perilous international and domestic environment at that time. If we had not reformed, socialism in China would have been doomed. We were being blockaded by both the United States and the Soviet Union, and had just gone through the Three Years of Difficulties, with reduced agricultural production and state-owned enterprises on the brink of collapse due to overstaffing. All these factors indicated that if we continued to follow the Soviet model (Stalinist model), we would not survive and would be subverted from within or without. Western netizens might not be aware of this part of history, but I must say that almost all major socialist countries faced this crisis sooner or later. The main reason is that we live in an era dominated by imperialism, and the economies of socialist countries generally had not undergone re-monetization. That is, we did not over-issue currency; our currency was strictly pegged to the goods we produced. Once attacked by external financial capital, we would face a tragic end. It is worth mentioning that only after the collapse of the Soviet Union did China's monetization reforms come to the agenda, because we witnessed the tragedy of our former comrade and big brother. We had to prepare in advance; we needed to survive and ensure the continued existence of socialism.
As a Chinese college student, I can understand why many western left wing groups regard China as a non-socialist country. However, what I want to say is that considering China still a socialist country requires profound theoretical foundation and practical research. As Marxist scholar Samir Amin once discussed, he believed that China is neither a capitalist country nor a purely socialist one as many Marxist fundamentalists think. He regarded China as being in a transitional stage. In our own words, our country is in the primary stage of socialism. The basis for this assertion lies in the fact that all our land ownership still belongs to the state; our financial system is still solely controlled by the state-owned central bank; our public ownership economy still accounts for as much as 58%; and it forms the foundation of our country's large-scale infrastructure and macroeconomic regulation. The reason we can and have succeeded in poverty alleviation is that there is a smooth communication channel from the grassroots natural villages to the central government, allowing for targeted industrial support and economic subsidies. We can set aside short-term interests and regional benefits, using resources and funds from developed regions and provinces to help the impoverished western provinces. Why? Because we have a socialist economy, our economy is meant to serve the majority of the population, the workers. I read an article on a left-wing website claiming that China's significant economic achievements are simply due to its large population, not socialism. I can only say that the author of that article is insulting the reader's intelligence and mocking our neighbor, India. India now has a larger population than China, yet it remains deeply mired in poverty and social turmoil. This pseudo-Marxist leftist should be invited to India to serve as a government advisor. Perhaps he has a solution for India's crisis.
Thank you for your contribution from your perspective. I found this very valuable to read. I agree that it takes a more advanced theoretical foundation to understand why China is indeed on the socialist path.
very valuable.

Superintressant presentation. Tyvärr finns ingen bok av Joel på svenska eller polska 🥺
Thanks for going after the Sacred Cows of "alternative critiques of capitalism." Fine analysis, all-around, as well. These participants were awesome.
I thorougly enjoyed this lecture and the subsequent discussion. I do not necessarily agree with everything Gabriel Rockhill has said, but having been "educated" in exactly the same period (albeit by the lesser gods), I completely agree with his analysis that during that time, critical "thinkers", as we know them today, have been turned into a sheep in wolves clothing, and this is merely a farcical repetition of those criticized in the German Ideology.
So the point of this guy is that those philosophers (so various and even sometimes contradictory) are spreading pessimism and are not giving alternatives?
Total flawed argument. So therefore more imperialism by Russia which for example wants to occupy Ukraine is good because with thwart US Imperialism. Putin talks about ruling vast swaths of former Soviet Republics.
GOOD LECTURE
Why is he so condescending? Are non communists meant to be persuaded by this? "low-level thinking" I feel sorry for his wife.
Rockhill's confirmation bias on display regarding China. Why did they jail/kill Mao's wing in the party if it was a party decision? You cannot magic away historical facts because you desperately looking for confirmation of your ideas.
