THIS IS REVOLUTION＞podcast Ep. 262: The Reactionary Conservative Mind w/ Professor Corey Robin

Corey Robin is a well-respected political scientist. He has written several books, most famously, “The Reactionary Mind: Conservatism from Edmund Burke to Donald Trump,” and, “The Enigma of Clarence Thomas.” Corey has dedicated much scholarship to the nature of American political conservatism. His books trace the ideological groundings of American conservatism in the United States. Though we have had several guests on our show that discussed the danger of the current reactionary right, Corey Robin offers a different thesis. Robin argues that Right is not strong but weak, and that their capacity to implement their agenda has been severely hampered over time.   Corey Robin is an American political theorist, journalist and professor of political science at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.   About TIR Thank you, guys, again for taking the time to check this out.
