I'm not anti identity politics, I'm anti identity politics being weaponised to promote individualistic agenda.
Also the Vampire's Castle doesn't just refer to idpol extremists, but all types who try to bully fellow leftists.

Identity politics are inherently individualist
Carson Long
They can be. But what about the collective identities which are the result of biological features, are an actual material reality and effect peoples and institutions actual behavioural choices towards you, the fact that there are people and institutions who discriminate over various features means those people share a collective experience and therefore it builds into their identity, whether that is right or wrong, the fact is it does exist.
It is not enough to say they are simply individualist, very often identity struggles come in the form of collective struggles, the civil rights and feminist movements for example. There is a reason these come attached to left wing movements, often.
The point is, the class struggle is a collective identity every worker experiences, regardless of any other collective experience, the experience of class is the most present and most universal

Just because Hilary Clinton said it doesn't mean its wrong. The Flint water crises does have a racial component to it.
Peak idealism.

What a load of crap, your water supply has to deliver clean water regardless of racism. "We can't have clean water until we end racism" is peak neo-liberalism
Jonathan Martin
are you denying racism exists in the here and now? are you denying that many comrades are racists and it will get in the way of praxis? how can you not critique racism as idealism itself that needs to be combated with theory?
the water isnt clean because of racism and it aint like a guy saying nigger racism its an institution that has reality, history, weight to it
