Theory Underground

2. The Revolution Will Not BE... How the war against the Left was won

The goal of this series is not to make an argument so much as lay out a bunch of sources, to let them speak for themselves, and to empower critical thinkers to theorize their situation anew, in a way that leftists tend to obstruct with their reification of the hope industry, duopoly, and "history" as a simulation of roots to and endurance of bygone era meant to provide niche identarian (PMC ascendent or fallen professional holier than thou) belonging that only functionally serves the needs of HR's (and the broader bureaucratic) encroachments into working peoples' lives and the reduction of everything to the service of either capital or state interests.
 
 
ABOUT
Theory Underground is a research, publishing, and lecture institute. TU exists to develop the concept of timenergy in the context of critical social theory (CST). CST is the umbrella over critical media theory (CMT), critical doxology and timenergy (CDT), critique of libidinal economy (CLE), critique of political economy (CPE), critique of gender and sex (CGS), and critique of psychiatry and therapism (CPT), critique of science and religion (CSR), and many more. To get basically situated in this field you will have to know a handful of important figures from a bunch of areas of the humanities and social sciences. That would be a lot of work for you if not for the fact that Dave, Ann, and Mikey are consolidating hundreds of thousands of hours of effort into a pirate TV-radio-press that goes on tours and throws conferences and shit like that… It’s a crazyfun experiment, and you can enjoy a ton of the content here for free.

"Gabriel Rockhill's Anti-Imperialism is NOT Marxism" - Chris Cutrone goes IN on pro-Hamas activism

This was going to be a conversation mainly about Cutrone's new book and course, but after a certain point pretty early in, the focus became Palestine-Israel, Hamas, what a "real Marxist" position would mean, why anti-imperialism ain't it. Gabriel Rockhill kept coming up because he's big on that anti-imperialism is the Real Left Solution To The Riddle Of History or whatever, but TU does not necessarily endorse that view, knowing very little about Rockhill's actual positions. This was not about Rockhill so much as Cutrone's take on him and that tendency of the Left, which is interesting on its own. Share your own thoughts below!
The course begins in October and you can enroll here https://theoryunderground.com/courses/marxism-101/
Or you can pick up a copy of Cutrone's book The Death of the Millennial Left here: https://sublationmedia.com/product/the-death-of-the-millennial-left-interventions-2006-2022/

CST is the umbrella over critical media theory (CMT), critical doxology and timenergy (CDT), critique of libidinal economy (CLE), critique of political economy (CPE), critique of gender and sex (CGS), and critique of psychiatry and therapism (CPT), critique of science and religion (CSR), and many more. To get basically situated in this field you will have to know a handful of important figures from a bunch of areas of the humanities and social sciences. That would be a lot of work for you if not for the fact that Dave, Ann, and Mikey are consolidating hundreds of thousands of hours of effort into a pirate TV-radio-press that goes on tours and throws conferences and shit like that… It’s a crazyfun experiment, and you can enjoy a ton of the content here for free.
