Our political discourse pits identity politics against economic populism. But the choice is false and contributes to incredible confusion about the working class across the political spectrum. For @hammerandhope.bsky.social I show why and sketch an alternative (sorry to crosspost):

more and more these days, I find myself thinking that you can accept the discipline of your political goals or you can accept the discipline of your resentments.
Seeing a lot of “But they don’t deserve…” And no, of course they don’t. What the fuck does that have to do with anything? The house is on fire. Pass a bucket to whoever wants to put it out. You can remind them what an ass they’ve been later.

If I didn’t know better, I’d be shocked by the unchecked meanness and pettiness Mike highlights here. How embarrassing for everyone.
After two years Chibber responds to "The Problem of Class Abstractionism" by me and @matthikaru.bsky.social on a podcast called "give them an argument." It's a notable point, because it is mostly just bitter invective, rather than responding to arguments. No comradely exchange to be found here.

The way that university officials have begun to treat “peaceful” and “disruptive” as antonyms, when they in fact are not antonyms, is the kind of violence to language that one expects of authoritarians
