In the wake of Kamala Harris's defeat, the Left's association with identity politics has been a major focus of public debate. But what identity politics is or who primarily benefits from it remains contested.

In this episode of Confronting Capitalism, Vivek Chibber discusses the Democrats’ long-standing attachment to identity politics, why this form of politics can't fight oppression, and the real history behind struggles for justice.

  1. It’s not only on Spotify. I listened to it on Apple Podcasts and it’s also on Amazon’s Audible, and perhaps other places as well.
  2. Boycotting Spotify over hosting Rogan is kinda silly, especially when Apple & Amazon host him as well now. There is little praxis in that kind of politics. Jacobin again: “Voting With Your Dollars” Is an Antidemocratic Illusion

nothing to do with any praxis and entirely for my own sanity once i became vaguely aware that he was the face of mainstream americana; i likewise don't do apple or amazon for similar reasons.
