Yeah, right. Doctor. You've obviously had a road-to-Damascus conversion to the merits of the academic world, Sir C.
One more time. Loudly.
IDENTITY POLITICS HAS EFF ALL TO DO WITH MARXISM.
And the right is doing itself no favours by refusing to understand class dialectics.
Nope.
That isn't the starting point. The downtroddenness and dispossesedness was just a by-product of the social relations, and not the focus. The failure of the left was to think it was about compassion, rather than building an alternative and better system, however difficult and unrealistic that might have been.
There is no such thing as class any more; you're 40 years out of date. We've had a grocer's daugfhter as prime minister and northern factory workers own houses, cars and smartphones.
The Conservative government of 1979 to the mid 1980s liberated us all from the confines of class.
This is why the left had to shift its tactics to the non-political sphere. Mrs T turned socialism into a dirty word and made ideas like class struggle seem woefully old-fashioned. You can't claim to be acting on behalf of a social group who repeatedly express their unwillingness for you to do so democratically, so the left moved onto minorities instead.
Professor in the USA simply means employed. In the UK it actually means something- it requires a research profile, a series of publications, a demonstrable body of knowledge, insight and expertise.
Every **** with a piece of chalk is a Professor in the US.
In short, that bloke knows **** all. I bet he got sacked from a university for nobbing the undergrads.
Well since you clearly know best, you ought to advise Dr Jordan Peterson that he is doing it wrong EXCEPT HE'S GOT A BRAIN THE SIZE OF A FÚCKING PLANET AND PROBABLY KNOWS MORE ABOUT THE SUBJECT THAN AN IRISH SCRIBBLER FOR FÚCK'S SAKE.
