Chris Cutrone on Theory Underground on Israel-Palestine, Marxism and the “Left”
This was going to be a conversation mainly about Cutrone’s new book and course, but after a certain point pretty early in, the focus became Palestine-Israel, Hamas, what a “real Marxist” position would mean, why anti-imperialism ain’t it. Gabriel Rockhill kept coming up because he’s big on that anti-imperialism is the Real Left Solution To The Riddle Of History or whatever, but TU does not necessarily endorse that view, knowing very little about Rockhill’s actual positions. This was not about Rockhill so much as Cutrone’s take on him and that tendency of the Left, which is interesting on its own.
