I just read this article, after reading and reviewing @GabrielRockhill's book this week. I have yet to see a criticism of Rockhill's work that goes beyond "we are not compromised, you are" and other such name calling.

Gabriel Rockhill’s polemic against Western Marxism seeks to condemn a set of postwar left-wing intellectuals such as Herbert Marcuse. Heavy on innuendo but light on evidence, the result is more like a show trial than a serious political indictment. jacobin.com/2026/04/review…

@jacobin Calling Rockhill a “Marxist-Leninist in the school of Trump” is just a way to dodge his argument. You can critique his causal claims w/o pretending a materialist analysis of Cold War cultural power in western academia = Trumpian smear politics.🙄 JaCIAbin nvr fails..

The Lebanese government bears direct responsibility for the martyrdom of al-Akhbar journalist Amal Khalil. Its participation in the surrender talks with Israel, its co-signing of the 16 April State Department document, which it has not disavowed, and its declared intent to shamelessly proceed to a second round of talks with our nation's longstanding enemy tomorrow together constitute the political context within which her killing was legitimised. It does so by granting Israel alone the right to self-defence, authorising it to strike “at any time,” while denying Lebanon any reciprocal right, thereby rendering journalists and civilians killable in a manner that exceeds even the May 17, 1983 agreement, which, for all its capitulatory and treasonous character, at least paid lip service to Lebanon’s security as a reciprocal right and tied it, however nominally, to Israeli withdrawal. But given that this is framed by Lebanon’s president as a “war of others” driven by “suicidal instincts” rather than the “rational” choice he locates in the now ritualised submission he calls “negotiations,” the Lebanese government has clearly absolved itself of any obligation to protect its territory or its people, and instead persists in prostrating itself before its “friend,” Trump, appearing resigned to accepting Israel’s genocidal policies as a price it is willing to pay for its perverse notion of sovereignty, while congratulating itself on “negotiating for ourselves.”

Western Marxists generally have two approaches to global south liberation projects; either you die and they love you or you’re a victim and you need their help. God forbid you attempt a national project of sovereignty, with all its contradictions, lest you be condemned.

If Thomas Sankara were still alive, Jacobin would be attacking him for being “not socialist enough”. It is only because he has passed on that they are willing to praise his legacy, to use as a stick to beat Captain Traoré.

@BootsRiley @dawudk21 @normalwomxn This information has been available for many years, & the article has been on substack for a while as well. @intifada published it recently but that doesn’t mean the article is new.

@dawudk21 @normalwomxn Im going to read the article and I'm willing to be wrong- but either way, i had said they changed since that time. when i said that, i was repeating what palestinians like arafat had said a few times. so im interested to read. This article just came out this month.

We are about to see the full unfolding of a long term controlled socialist opposition operation, Hinkle was the primary agent. They will flip a portion of the manosphere zoggosphere and they will become who we are told leads the left, so they can continue to contain it

@jacobin every page of this book is *packed* with footnotes and sources. PACKED. say what you want to but suggesting it's lacking in evidence is just flat out false. engage with the content instead of smearing the author

The only people melting down about this book are those rightfully targeted by Rockhills work, & most of them haven’t even bothered to engage with the book on the most basic level.
Tamanisha J John@TamanishaJohn

This book skipped my backed up reading list since people continue to meltdown about it. I felt sad reading the opening about Che and the intro ends noting: “It is often said, when you lose an ally on the left, that you can kill a person, but you cannot kill an idea.”

When Jacobin whines about Gabriel Rockhills book they are giving themselves away. They and their DSA bosses are exactly what Rockhill was writing about boiled down to its foul essence.
