Thanks, Laura. This is why I keep saying that identity politics *is* class
struggle. It's just class struggle from perspectives that don't have the
privilege of assuming a non-racial (white) and non-gendered (male) point of
view.
Anyone who thinks that identity politics is overly branded, mass

If you think that race is skin color, you're mistaken. Race is a social
reality.
Class, race, and gender are all "real" because people believe in them, so
they have material consequences.
If you think that "pure class struggle" exists and that class hasn't been
commodified and sold back to you,
Dear Alice
If you refer to what I wrote, then please let me correct you. I never said
that gender is a social ghost. I said that race is a social ghost. There is
no such thing as race outside of bigoted people's limited imagination. Skin
color makes us no different from one another than hair or
Trust me, race and gender are not social ghosts. They have extremely
material consequences.

Dear Justin
Was Karl Marx an idealist or a materialist? I'm perfectly happy to leave
that for you and others to decide. Because I'm a pragmatist and my ideas
are pragmatist and the rest is just wordplay to me. I'm interested in
factual truth and in whether something works or does not work. I'm
Coming in late to this thread but the anti-identity current that's growing
more and more prevalent on the left lately seems to be somewhat in
opposition to contrary to materialism. To say that "class is class and only
class has universal validity" strikes me as pretty idealist, not
materialist.
Ian, this idea of 'civility' should be unpacked a bit, because the ~word
lumps together a disparate range of concerns. At its worst, a lot of
babble about civility boils down to is tone-policing, which relies on
etiquette as an all-purpose tool for micromanaging rhetoric — and in
doing so,
Brett - I don't think that the problem of the Left is that we don't spend
enough time with people who think it's worthwhile to discuss the potential
virtues of "Candace Owens, Nick Land and/or Adolf Hitler." If anything, the
Left needs to thoroughly rid itself of the liberal and depoliticizing
Hahahaha, and there comes the Rousseuian personal attack. Exactly my point.
There are apparently people so evil and dangerous that the mere mentioning
of their names disqualifies the mentioner from any further attachment. See
Ian's outburst below. Are the gallows what await me next?

"Like charismatic Candace Owens says on Fox News these days, race does not
exist to her. Neither does it to me. And gender is merely a rough but not
fixed orientation toward dividual archetypes of tribal contribution."
What a strikingly ahistorical, antimaterialist, and ideological statement.
Dear Ian
It's great that you bring up Asad Haider because he is a brilliant
historian of identity politics and I agree with him that the big shift
happened in 1977. But while for Haider 1977 meant a deepening of
emancipatory struggle to include feminist and anti-racist minoritarian
causes that he
If you you think being of critical and suspicious of theological
metanarratives is intellectually lazy, wait until you hear about

While you resentfully remain obsessed with my tonality and my etiquette (as

Alexander addresses me with an injunction and second-guesses my answer: "What

My answer is that I do not have the slightest idea, and that anyone who claims
to have one is either a liar, fool, or utopian dictator. And
So, let us try to understand Alexander:
"Marx good, Rousseau bad,
Class Struggle good, Identity Politics bad."
Reading his text is like falling into the dystopian totalitarian abyss that so
filled George Orwell with despair.
