    Keep in mind, too, that the OP identifies it not as Marxist but neo-Marxist, iow, postmodern identity politics.
    Would you say that advocating for treating people according to their abilities rather than according to preconceived notions is inherently Marxist? There may well be some overlap in the language of injustice, but the goal is rather different.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    No, if that's all McIntosh did, which is to take a rather shallow view of her import.

    And I said quite clearly and you choose to ignore it, her argument was not Marxist but neo-Marxist, postmodern.

    Where Marx framed the world into economic classes, one oppressing the other, McIntosh framed the world into racial identities, one race oppressing another--according to her preconceived notions.

    The similarity is indeed injustice, social injustice. No, not injustice against an individual, as we normally conceive of it in real terms--Joe stole from Sally, Mary killed JIm, etc--but some abstract injustice of one identity group against another.
    Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. ― Gustav Mahler

    When Trump ran for president I use to listen to the Red elephants on youtube. They would cover antifa, their tactics, cutting of tires of supporters, attacking ones going back to their cars, the many attacks, the open communism. I liked them but hated them. The main reason I hated them is because they didn't know History. They were infiltrated, trusted people they shouldn't have. It's like a football game you yell when they mess up but really want them to win. I am not young and don't have patience for the youth that don't know who their enemy is. I am happy to say they finally got it. It's surprising I have to admit. I wrote them off.
