[Peace] [Peace-discuss] Identity politics poses the danger of irrelevancy to the anti-war movement

[Karen Aram]

Good article, one of the reasons I use the WSWS.Org<http://wsws.org> as a reference much of the time.

The author didn’t mention the ISO’s Ashley Smith, being one of those “supporting war” in Syria, with his “we need to support the rebels” and anyone who doesn’t is a supporter of  “Assad the Dictator.”

My bad, when I first clicked on Carl's link it brought up a different article. Don't know why.

This is the correct link--

So....the same one that Carl had at the bottom of his post?

[Last month the journal 'Historical Materialism' presented a forum at
New York University. Here's a description from <wsws.org<http://wsws.org/>>.]

...Of the 60 scheduled panels, not a single one relates to the subject
of war. The words “imperialism,” “war,” “Iraq,” “North Korea,”
“Afghanistan,” “Libya” and “Somalia” do not appear in any panel title.

Instead, the NYU panel features discussion topics such as “Queer(ing)
Marxism,” “Women’s Strikes in the Age of Feminization,” “The
International Women’s Strike and the Anticapitalist Feminist Movement,”
“Silencing the Subaltern: Resistance & Gender in Postcolonial Theory,”
“Concerning Violence: Subjections, Resistance, Subversions,” “Adorno:
Subjectivity and Critique,” “New Directions in Marxist/Feminist Theory,”
“Race, Repetition, Rebellion: The Political Economy of Surplus,” and
“Late Althusser: Politics and Theoretical Practice.”

Any connections that the radicalized middle class once had to
anti-imperialism or socialism are long gone. The categories of analysis
they employ have nothing to do with class or historical materialism.
War, social inequality and poverty all take a back seat to what really
interests them: race, gender and their own sex lives.
