CW: discussion of sexual assault and harassment.Dr. Joshua Moufawad-Paul is one of the key figures in philosophy involved in the Maoist revival in theory today. With six books already to his name, this interview offers a retrospective on his publications, focused on his critically acclaimed 2016 book ‘Continuity and Rupture: Philosophy in the Maoist Terrain.’ In this interview, Josh discusses with Kenneth his political and intellectual trajectory as it led him from anarchism to autonomism to Maoism, as well as the issues latent in both Trotskyism and contemporary anti-capitalist organising writ large, including the spree of sexual harassment cases internally disguised by major communist organisations and the first-world left’s frequent eurocentrism.If you are interested, you can purchase Josh’s book ‘Continuity and Rupture’ here: https://johnhuntpublishing.com/zer0-books/our-books/continuity-ruptureJosh’s blog: http://moufawad-paul.blogspot.com *Correction: Kenneth misspoke in describing the ‘comrade Delta’ scandal within the SWP, accidentally calling it the ‘agent Delta’ scandal.Support Zer0 Books on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/zerobooksSubscribe: http://bit.ly/SubZeroBooksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ZeroBooks/Twitter: https://twitter.com/zer0books-----Other links:Check out the projects of some of the new contributors to Zer0 Books:Acid HorizonPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/acidhorizonMerch: crit-drip.comThe Philosopher’s Tarot from Repeater Books: https://repeaterbooks.com/product/the-philosophers-tarot/The Horror VanguardApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/horror-vanguard/id1445594437Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/horrorvanguardBuddies Without OrgansApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/buddies-without-organs/id1543289939Website: https://buddieswithout.org/Xenogothic: https://xenogothic.com/Support Daniel Tutt's work by visiting the Torsion Groups Patreon account: https://patreon.com/torsiongroupsSupport Zer0 Books and Repeater Media on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/zer0repeaterSubscribe: https://www.patreon.com/zer0repeaterFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ZeroBooks/Twitter: https://twitter.com/zer0books, https://twitter.com/RepeaterBooks
