From Lou's post:* By showing that the white working class makes up a larger proportion of the electorate than previously reported, the Pew report — taken together with similar results in a study sponsored in November 2017 by the liberal Center for American Progress — strengthens the case made by Democratic strategists calling for a greater emphasis on policies appealing to working class voters and a DE-emphasis on so-called identity issues* There is some talk of that here in Oz. The problem is that with the rise of neoliberalism we had a period of neoliberal radicalism with a cover of identity politics. For example gays made gains during the terms of scumbags like Blair. The neoliberals used progressive politics as a cover. But we must not throw progressive politics out with the neoliberal water. I take it for granted that everyone on this list understands we need socialist policies plus progressive "identity" policies. Forgive me for stating the obvious. comradely Gary _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
