I’m broadly left-libertarian, with strong sympathy for people suffering from poverty, poor health, lack of education etc. To the extent skin color is a very strong multiplier I take it seriously, but not symbolically. It’s a good analysis variable but a terrible symbolizing one.
Perhaps. It's never been tried anywhere. Free market identity politics is an idea whose time has come.

But I'm curious, you think the popularization of the term 'POC' involves a co-optation of sorts? Colonization being the historical force it was, I think the rise of a 'colour coalition' makes a sort of natural sense.

Of course, there will be 'POC' might not consider themselves a part of the color coalition and not find the term 'POC' representative/useful, as you do. And I agree with you re your analysis on AOC, she's a canny coalition spotter/builder.

Sort of like free market economics has never been successfully tried? Identity production is a group cultural activity, no? Except in myths like the USA’s “self-made man”.

As in, it's possible that among the groups being oppressed by divide and conquer oppressors, one group carries more blame than the other. As in, is the very TERM 'POC' so alienating to white people?
