Hello everybody and welcome back to Revolutionary Left Radio. On today's episode I have Matthew

McMannis who was an author among many other authors on the book postmodern conservatism.

So we really explored this idea of how postmodern culture has manifested itself on the political

right. We talk about Trump, we talk about the pandemic, we talk about how neoliberal

late capitalism really creates the conditions for the rise of postmodern conservatism and

we just cover a lot of fascinating ground. We've had many episodes in the past on topics

related to postmodernism. I'll link to as many of those in the show notes as possible

so that people who are really interested in this topic who might not have heard our previous

episodes can easily find them. And you know we probably have maybe three, four or five episodes

talking about this broad topic known as postmodernism. And so I think if you were to sit

down and listen to all five of those episodes including this one you would have a really,

really good understanding of a very complex cultural phenomenon. So I hope people who are interested

in this topic pursue that and I'll make that as easy as possible. Without further ado let's go

ahead and get into this conversation with Matthew McMannis on the book postmodern conservatism.

Enjoy.

author of the rise of postmodern conservatism which is a more academic-y kind of monograph

which was published with Palgrig McMannis. Well thank you so much for coming on the show. I
