Episode 33 - Pt. 5 Fascism, Anti-Communism, the CIA and French Theory with Gabriel Rockhill

Listen Later

In the final episode in our series about Fascism, Jules speaks with Professor Gabriel Rockhill about a series of articles he wrote called "Fascism - A Counter-History". Professor Rockhill speaks to the conjunctural, structural, and systemic aspects of Fascism from a materialist perspective, and how this method breaks with liberal notions of fascism simply being an idiosyncratic occurrence that happened once in history. Along the way, questions of syncretism, operation paperclip, and Michel Foucault come up, including how the CIA targeted certain theorists in order to drive an ideological wedge between communists and left anti-communists.
