Marcie Smith with The Children’s Haven

SUPPORT US VIA Patreon.com/DCBABYLON! Ken and Andrew speak with Prof. Marcie Smith of John Jay College, author of a pair of articles published by Nonsite about nonviolence guru Gene Sharp. Over the past 45 years, Sharp's philosophy of "revolutionary nonviolence" has become a hegemonic ideology within the various protest movements. But as Dr. Smith shows in her scholarship, Sharp was also a significant Cold War ideologue whose philosophy is more synoptic with neoliberalism than traditional radical Left praxis, be it Marxism, Leninism, or anarchism. Sharpian nonviolence has dominated the methods and strategies of protest, discouraging radicals to engage in taking state power, precisely at the moment when reactionary forces have waged a successful campaign to take control of government so to demolish the welfare state created during the New Deal to Great Society governing coalitions.

Episode 31: Dr. Marcie Smith on Gene Sharp’s Impact Upon Leftist Protest Politics

Max Blumenthal

Marcie Smith, and adjunct lecturer in economics at Jon Jay (CUNY) questions the sanctification of Gene Sharp, who has been called the "Machiavelli of nonviolence," and portrayed as apolitical. Smith talks to me about her recent piece, published on NonSite called "Change Agent: Gene Sharp's Noeliberal Nonviolence", which looks at Sharp's noeliberal ideology and his role as a defense state intellectual and Cold War champion. This I play the audio of a book talk I attended by Max Blumenthal about his latest book The Management of Savagery How America's National Security State Fueled the Rise of Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Donald Trump.
