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.

Perhaps 'extremists-on-the-left' would be a way we could both see the IDpol lot if 'far-left' only denotes the radicals to you?

I think you are mixing up people who call themselves Democrats with leftists. Our Democrats are not leftists.

I have said that we are using different definitions here.
