      Ah. You're from that school of thought. It was Crenshaw who coined the term & then critical race theory & it is this branch I refer to.

      Did the radical left have their own definition of intersectionality from the start or did it adopt the term & apply it more fully?

      For a lot of these center-leftists, discussion of class is not only taboo because of ID politics, but also because they are capitalist.

      I think we have a different conception of centre-leftism. I see the radical left & the PoMo left as 'far' but different branches of far.

      And the centre/moderate left (me) as old-style universal liberals with a more culturally libertarian but economically leftist bent.

      I think this is why two-axis spectrum is better. Mixing up left-right dichotomy with libertarian-authoritarian dichotomy creates confusion.

      But it is the political reality. Its the Left that's been screwed up by identity politics and cultural relativity.

      Seems more a problem for centrists than the far left. On the far left, identity politics are widely reviled and relativism not even present.

      The radical far-left. Identity politics and relativism is the other far-left. The centrists also revile them.

      Those who are practicing ID politics and relativism here are not economically left. They are often even center-right, like Hillary.

      No. I tend to say 'economic far-left' and 'identitarian far-left.'

          Oh, to me you cannot be left if you are not economically left. It only denotes an economic stance, nothing else.

          OK but if we are to talk, we need to understand each other. You probably wouldn't consider me Left.

          If you want to refer to the Democrats, you should just call them Democrats instead of leftists because they have no leftist principles.

          If you want to use imprecise language, you will probably be in this same situation a lot in the future.

          I can define what I am talking about very precisely. I can write essays detailing the evolution of the Left.

          I cannot have a conversation with you if you will only acknowledge the economic factors & bung every other extremism in centre or on right.

          That's not what I'm doing. I am just addressing that your assessments of 'the left' are not accurately depicting people who are on the left.
