Carlos L. Garrido, author of the book The Purity Fetish and the Crisis of Western Marxism and co-founder of the Midwestern Marx Institute, joins the Forum to discuss his book's premise of the Western Marxist's "purity fetish" which dates back to the Eleatic school of Greek philosophy. Garrido argues that the goal should be to transition from a PMC (professional managerial class) Left to a working class centered left; moreover, he elaborates that there are already subjective and objective conditions that facilitate revolutionary potential.
