This article on the #FrankfurtSchool explains how #Adorno & #Horkheimer were funded & supported by the capitalist ruling class & imperialist states, including the CIA, as global spokesmen for an anti-communist politics of capitalist accommodation. 2/7 thephilosophicalsalon.com/the-cia-the-fr…

This deep dive into the anti-communism of the #FrankfurtSchool, which critically evaluates #Adorno #Horkheimer #Habermas #Honneth #Fraser, clearly outlines FS's opposition to #Marxism & esp actually existing #socialism. 3/7

This essay examines how #Foucault plays the role of an anti-communist radical recuperator, i.e. an intellectual who appears radical but whose social function is to recuperate rad critique within the extant system. 4/7

This earlier study explores the CIA’s interest in #FrenchTheory as an anti-Marxist academic discourse that helped shore up the ‘compatible’ (meaning pro-imperialist) Left amongst the intelligentsia. 5/7

This book comes out of decades of research, beginning within French & German #CriticalTheory (I studied w Derrida & Badiou), but framed now by #Marxism & an understanding of the war on #Socialism. It's a profound self-critique. Don't fight me--join me! 7/7
