A Challenge For the Left
looking through a Prism
Good article written by Matthew Continetti:
Editor in chief of the Washington Free Beacon:
The beginning of identity politics can be traced to 1973, the year the first volume of Alexander Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago-- a book that demolishes any pretense of communism's moral authority was published in the West. the ideological challenge of socialism was fading, its fighting spirit dwindling. This presented a challenge for the Left---How to carry on the fight against capitalism when its major ideological alternative was no longer viable.
The Left found its answer in an identity politics that grew out of anti-colonialism. The Marx's class struggle was reformulated into an ethno racial struggle---a ceaseless competition between colonizer and colonized; victimizer and victim; oppressor and oppressed. Instead of presenting collectivism and central planning as the gateway to the realization of genuine freedom, the New Multiculturalist Left turned to unmasking the supposed power relations that subordinated minorities and exploited third world nations.
The original battleground was the American University,where, as Bruce Bawer writes in the "Victim's Revolution" "The Rise of Identity Politics and the closing of the Liberal Mind." The point became simply to prove repeatedly, endlessly, certain facile, reductive, and invariably left wing points about the nature of power and oppression. In this new version of the humanities all of western civilization is not analyzed through the use of reason or judged according to standards that have been developed over centuries.
Rather it is viewed through prisms of race, class and gender, and is hailed or condemned in accordance with political checklists. (unquote) Don't you see that this guy is right
