Meet the radlib academics using woke post-modernism to defend imperialism - a podcast by Max Blumenthal & Ben Norton

from 2021-04-06T18:00

:: ::

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.
