About to listen to people arguing about decolonising society. I shall keep you all posted.
There is a Marxist postcolonialism and they are the strongest critics of postmodern postcolonialism. The latter are the ones who go on about western knowledge.

I'm not seeing any of these distinctions. When people start out talking about how much they hate capitalism, they inevitably end up talking about privilege, sexism, etc., and when they start out talking about privilege, they inevitably argue for socialism.
-
And maybe this is partly what made your hoax so successful, that in writing through any manner of social justice or identitarian lens, one need only abstract and map one kind of privilege onto another (which is what people mean by 'cultural marxism') in order to do scholarship.

That just isn't how it works tho. I can't explain it on Twitter but it isn't. Different epistemologies. Different intellectual history.
-
And all I am saying is that they don't know and they don't care. The mainstream left has become an identitarian/radical conglomerate pretending to be liberals. I'm not arguing the philosophy, I'm talking about their manifestations.

The Marxists are not the strongest critics of postmodern postcolonialism, Helen. They really aren't.
