Does anyone know when and where Verso books got mad at the Deprogram and Prof. Gabriel Rockhil for their criticism against the publisher's anti-communist and pro-west tendency? (lemmygrad.ml)

In the recent episode of the Pod, the boys were talking about this stuff. Does anyone have any links to their reaction?

Gabriel Rockhill is a guest on Episode 208 of the Deprogram, where they discuss this issue.

Here's Sebastian Budgen (Senior Editor of Verso, Editorial Board of Historical Materialism, Contributing Editor to Jacobin) insulting Rockhill with ad-hominem attacks on social media for daring to criticize Western Marxism, and explicitly saying that he stopped the publishing of Rockhill's book with them: https://x.com/GabrielRockhill/status/2005093043012337674

This same person stonewalled the publishing of Domenico Losurdo (who wrote a previous critique on Western Marxism titled Western Marxism: How it was Born, How it Died, How it Can be Reborn): https://x.com/Huck1995/status/1682482754334732289

Thanks. This just further consolidated my disdain for western Marxism.

"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985
