“Notwithstanding its performative evocations of the 1960s Black Power
populist militancy, this antiracist politics is neither leftist in itself
nor particularly compatible with a left politics as conventionally
understood. At this political juncture, it is, like bourgeois feminism and
other groupist tendencies, an oppositional epicycle within hegemonic
neoliberalism, one might say a component of neoliberalism’s critical
self-consciousness; it is thus in fact fundamentally *anti-leftist.* Black
political elites’ attacks on the Bernie Sanders 2016 presidential
nomination campaign’s call for decommodified public higher education as
frivolous, irresponsible, or even un-American underscores how deeply
embedded this politics is within neoliberalism.”
