“Some woke positions on cultural questions are substantively wrong, not merely politically inconvenient, and a serious left should be willing to say so.”
“a serious politics judges itself by measurable movement towards a concrete goal, while a performative one judges itself by how radical it looks to other radicals. What a left tendency treats as grounds for excommunication tells you what it is actually for.”

On the correct answer to the claim that a class-first non-woke politics ‘throws minorities under the bus’, “…the correct response is not defensiveness. It is to reverse the question. If the people leveling the charge would genuinely prefer to see the left lose to right-wing populism rather than relinquish their maximalist cultural positions, they are implicitly conceding that they do not care about the working-class majority, a majority that includes the very minorities they invoke.”
