      There are two far-lefts. The identity politics branch is inspired by Postmodernism. The radical branch by Marxism.They often hate each otherhttps://twitter.com/Igroki/status/884083082575233024 …

      Although the IdPol branch will also deplore capitalism & use the oppressor/oppressed class & false consciousness of Marxist ideas... @Igroki

      ...they take a lot more from the PoMos who attacked Marxism as a simplistic meta-narrative with naive ideas of reality & science.

      The Marxists retain respect for objective reality & science & accuse PoMos of taking Leftist thought away from working class & into academia

      which is essentially bourjeois & elitist & also nuts. Marxists are more Utopian & foreward looking. PoMos nihilistic & all over the place.

          The Marxists think things can be fixed if you stick to principles & get it right this time. PoMos think not & were originally often playful.

          Deconstruct things to show everything meaningless & turn things on their head to show how culturally constructed it all was.

          Which pissed off the Marxists. Then the PoMos had a second wave in critical theory & got all intersectional, postcolonial & queer.

          So now they are quite revolutionary too but don't really have a coherent plan apart from to find everything problematic.

          TBF this is the fringe. The left in general accepts reality much more than the right does. Also, the right fringe is much, much uglier.

          Yes, the far-lefts I am talking about. The extreme views.

          But doesn't it feel that although misguided and annoying they are mostly harmless?

          Respect for objective reality & science is a colossal difference. Economically, Marxism still appears naive.

          That's what the PoMos said and so they threw it out with religion and science for seeing a simple structure.

          I am in favour of a generous safety net running alongside capitalism. I do see needs best served by a mix close to our present countries
