No, that's not it. We absolutely do need to fear bad ideas that gain great cultural currency & become a dominant in society. We need to reason with our own moral tribes when they become infected by this in both intellectual & political thought. https://twitter.com/cultofdusty/status/970414858045968387 …

The class system in intersectionality being the cis straight white heterosexual western English speaking supremacist oppressors, verses all other demographics
-
OK, that's not Marxism tho. That was about economics. Marxists were universalists and also believed in objective truth and science.

Whether we want to call it "marxist", is whether we want the term to mean the ideological dialectics of oppressor vs oppressed?
-
Lets not. That would just be confusing. Slavery abolitionists would then be Marxists.
-
The problem is that they are seeking to cast demographics itself as a supremacist system of oppression. Majority as "privilege", minority as oppression. To cast familiarity, norms, perception as bias, stereotyping, discrimination.
-
That is the problem, yes.

No, economics come last because it complicates gender and racial identity. You don't get much sympathy for being a poor white man.

The intersectional Marxism draws on much pomo ideas, but the prob isn't pomo itself, but rather the usage of pomo ideas. Up until this time, only the left has really utilized them. For me, much of the greatest weapons against intersectionality, are from Heidegger/Derrida/D&G

What is intersectional Marxism?
