Yeah I'm not a big fan of Rockhill generally, but more because he seems less intensely studied in his subjects than a Losurdo. I have the same critique of Vijay Prashad (though with him i also have strong ideological disagreements). I won't shit talk or argue against Rockhill though, it just feels like his oeuvre is a bit more aimed towards newbies to MLism and I am a bit allergic to hollowness. But I've been spoiled by the likes of Lukasc and Losurdo. But I don't recommend random people to read Losurdo, and I likely will about Rockhill
