Re: Idpol
Idpol? Is that any relation to IngSoc?
There are certain crucial issues facing the world in response to which I truly believe the international Left could be a force for good if it got its act together--namely, by advancing the cause of environmental protection, and countering the rampant destruction caused by mankind's incessant overbreeding and overconsumption; drawing attention to the murders of environmental activists under corrupt, repressive regimes around the world; furthering research into sustainable energy production, etc.
"Identity politics" I consider, at best, a self-defeating, hollow, divisive, phony movement that threatens to eat the Left from the inside out and render it permanently ineffectual.
