But liberals & academics are not being infected with white nationalism but with postmodernism. The best way to beat the populist far-right which is being infected with white nationalism is to fix our own side so it becomes sane & electable again. @cultofdusty

Critical theory has neo-Marxist roots, at least if you believe Wikipedia... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_theory#cite_note-6 …pic.twitter.com/Xp1sbJT3nQ

There is Marxist critical theory, yes, and it predates postmodern branches of critical theory because Marxism predates pomo.

@JonHaidt think Marxist thinking is a driving force behind the social justice movement in uni: https://heterodoxacademy.org/one-telos-truth-or-social-justice/ …pic.twitter.com/sPCUtM7qDw

If he is a symbol of revolution, sure. But they're much more focused on social rather than economic revolution. They're postmodernists. They're not very good at economics.

Intersectionality being revolutionary class struggle between oppressors and oppressed in a kyriarchy of demographics. The question is whether this utilizes the same dynamics as Marxism, like Marxist feminists before them?
-
I'm going to argue that in a sense it does. Similar moral foundations. Intersectionality as a replacement for Marxism. But to conflate them much more than that (and on some specific borrowings) is to miss the profound epistemological differences which matter. A lot.
-
So it appears to be a question of emphasis, where for me, it is awkward to place such emphasis and blame on pomo. I am a materialist anti-SJW and also a constructivist

That is coincidental to the current intersectional epoch. Reflecting one of the great social phobias/taboos, of being associated with xenophobia, especially racism. These demographics currently take precedence over economics.
-
Well, yes. What do we actually disagree on?
-
Not to draw a false parrallel, but I think where you don't want the SJWs to have Marxism, I don't want them to have philosophy "pomo"
-
I don't like Marxism either! But I'll concede some connections and also that PoMo is much more than this and some of it is quite good.
