This episode is a talk by Gabriel Rockhill to mark the publication of his new book, titled “Who Paid the Pipers of Western Marxism?” For Rockhill, an American philosopher, writer, cultural critic, and Professor of Philosophy at Villanova University, the term "Western Marxism" is not simply a geographic label or a neutral academic category. Instead it denotes an ideological formation that depoliticizes Marxism and detaches it from revolutionary struggle, transforming it into a politically defanged cultural-philosophical discourse. In his view, Western universities, foundations, cultural institutions, Cold War anti-communism, and state and corporate funding structures all helped shape a form of Marxism that was safe, non-revolutionary, compatible with liberal capitalist societies, and “critical” but not politically threatening. His goal is to redirect Marxist theory back toward revolutionary praxis, global anti-imperialist movements, and material political struggle. Gabriel Rockhill spoke on December 11, 2025 in a panel discussion sponsored by Critical Theory Workshop.

First Half: In the first half of the episode, we discuss the implications for the MAGA voter base of Trump’s immigration policy and its effect on the job market. We also discuss how Trump and other conservatives hide racism behind their proximity to Black conservatives and how this phenomenon is mutually beneficial to them. Second Half: The second half of the show sees us discussing a new trend of MAGA Christians referring to empathy as ‘sinful’ and ‘toxic’ as a way to provide cover for their extreme beliefs. We also discuss the shifting trends in Pew Research data of Black Americans over the last quarter-century and discuss the implications.

Michael Parenti (1933-2026) said that democracy couldn’t survive under religious rule – whatever that religion may be. Parenti’s warning in this archival recording is as timely and urgently expressed as it was when this speech was first given during the second term of the Reagan administration. This talk is also very funny. Parenti explains how God may be considered as a “founding father” and why Woody Allen calls him an underachiever. It is easy to extend this timeless analysis to the present circumstances. With roots in a working class Italian district of New York and a Ph.D. in political science from Yale Michael Parenti became an internationally known writer and lecturer. He is the author of twenty books.

Parenti rarely talked about his life. How does a NYC street kid get accepted to Yale? How does he lose the privilege of his PhD. in an arrest at a demonstration against the war on Vietnam, and become an internationally acclaimed author and lecturer? Michael Parenti (1933-2026) grew up in a poor, working class Italian community in New York City. When he received his PhD in political science from Yale in 1962 he was the success and pride of his family. He risked and ended his academic career when he openly opposed the war on Vietnam. Ultimately the choice he made then was a good one. He became an independent political writer and thinker and author of over 20 books. Invitations to speak came from all over North America. His topics were history, fascism, US Imperialism, globalization and terrorism. His writings have been translated into more than a dozen languages.

Aly Wane is an undocumented alien who has been organizing around immigration issues for over 20 years. An abolitionist immigration activist is someone who believes the current U.S. immigration enforcement system—ICE, Border Patrol, detention centers, deportation courts, and the laws that empower them—is fundamentally harmful and should be dismantled rather than reformed. The term “abolitionist” signals a radical reimagining of how societies handle migration—moving away from punishment, surveillance, and exclusion, and toward care, mobility, and belonging. Aly Wane spoke on February 9, 2026 at a webinar sponsored by the Syracuse, NY Peace Council. https://peacecouncil.net
