@aimeeterese At this point, how long will it take for various "marxist" takes from Novara/Jacobin explaining that we live in a new world where workers actually aren't all that important due to historical material reasons? A week?

I was about to say "days lol" as well but I think we're both being too optimistic by not settling for "hours lol". Not quite a full-blown """historical materialist""" argument quite yet, as far as Paul Mason-leninism goes, but he's getting there: https://www.newstatesman.com/2019/12/corbynism-over-labour-s-next-leader-must-unite-centre-and-left …

Mason's a bit too heavy on the idealistic arguments to really satisfy the Hen Dougwood crowd and Jacobin marxists, you have to respect the form. He's just saying that rich people are the best constituency for socialism because poor people are worthless racists.

But I think it won't take that many more hours until someone adds that final touch of "what if the poor were worthless racists, and the rich were awesome socialists... because historical materialism??". A shame Ellen Meiksins Wood isn't with us any longer. Man, she'd enjoy this.
