Meet the radlib academics using woke post-modernism to defend imperialism
Release Date:
Max Blumenthal and Ben Norton are joined by Aaron Maté to discuss the radlibs in academia who pretend to be radical but use anti-materialist post-modern philosophy and neoliberal identity politics to defend Western imperialism, from Ecuador to Syria, China to Venezuela. We also make fun of Bernard-Henri Lévy, who has never seen a US war he didn't love. -- Link to Ben's article "Coup-supporting academics spread lies to censor The Grayzone reporting exposing Ecuador’s pseudo-left candidate Yaku Pérez": thegrayzone.com/2021/03/01/academic-letter-censor-grayzone-ecuador-yaku-perez
