in what loving universe does a guy with $30k have "full property rights", is this one of those libertarian jargon piles where no word is being used in its conventionally understood meaning and is instead something about how the only true violence is social opprobrium against raping eight-year-olds

this probably has a lot to do with New Labour's origin arising from the pomo-adjacent New Left, which saw the left move away from a class-based social analysis towards a highly subjectivised idea of what oppression was. big point of pomo is to reject grand narratives such as the marxist one, without which it's actually pretty hard to keep a coherent movement going.

tbh i think ouvrierist classical socialist parties were moribound after the fifties anyway, with the class compromises of tripartism, but it's clear that the abandonment of the workers of the periphery by the mainstream left was to some extent motivated by postmodern thinking, and that's what cost labour this election so everyone's griping in their own way

quote:

The essays featured in the magazine are organized around the central premise that all of American history is rooted in race hatred—specifically, the uncontrollable hatred of “black people” by “white people.” Hannah-Jones writes in the series’ introduction: “Anti-black racism runs in the very DNA of this country.”

This is a false and dangerous conception. DNA is a chemical molecule that contains the genetic code of living organisms and determines their physical characteristics and development
. The transfer of this critical biological term to the study of a country—even if meant only in a metaphorical sense—leads to bad history and reactionary politics. Countries do not have DNA, they have historically formed economic structures, antagonistic classes and complex political relationships. These do not exist apart from a certain level of technological development, nor independently of a more or less developed network of global economic interconnections.

The methodology that underlies the 1619 Project is idealist (i.e., it derives social being from thought, rather than the other way around) and, in the most fundamental sense of the word, irrationalist. All of history is to be explained from the existence of a supra-historical emotional impulse. Slavery is viewed and analyzed not as a specific economically rooted form of the exploitation of labor, but, rather, as the manifestation of white racism. But where does this racism come from? It is embedded, claims Hannah-Jones, in the historical DNA of American “white people.” Thus, it must persist independently of any change in political or economic conditions.
