I figure Brace Belden is the biggest name around these parts, but I can only listen to TrueAnon for so long. Any others with more of an academic background who are still entertaining?
Matt is absolutely not an ML. Neither is zizek or Wolff, both are just Marxists, though very different Marxists from each other.
Fair enough, re matt not being an ML, has he said otherwise? Or are you inferring because some of his takes don’t align with ML thought?
Matt is definitely a Marxist in the sense that Marx’s view of history is how Matt interprets things, but I don’t think he believes in a vanguard party form as MLs do or in a theory of socialism in one country. As far as statements he’s made, he’s explicitly said on stream I think that he adherer’s to no tendency as they are more often than not aesthetic choices, which is for most of the online left fair.
I do know Matt used to be an active DSA member however he has not been since the pod took off. I don’t know if he’s still a dues paying member. He still I think overall supports the org compared to any other in the United States, as do all the other hosts. Amber is still an active member.
