What kind of morality does the Left offer? part 2
“On the Barricades” s05e26
In this second installment of this week’s release of “On the Barricades,” hosts Boyan Stanislavski and Maria Cernat continue the discussion on the question of morality in politics and on the Left.
How did we get to the current situation, in which leftists compete for moral superiority while alienating those not in their clique with hyper political correctness and demands on language? Boyan and Maria discuss how the trend of activists taking on such a role of holding individuals accountable for how anti-racist or anti-sexist they are, is far estranged from the classical socialist outlook on ethical matters, as well as from the essence of political action, which involves organizing people in massive party of labour to confront the capitalist system itself. Such a skewed emphasis on pseudo-morality disarms the socialist struggle. As the hosts discuss, there is a history of wealthy backers including the US government behind this ideological shift.
Maria refers to Gabriel Rockhill’s article here: https://thephilosophicalsalon.com/the-cia-the-frankfurt-schools-anti-communism/
We had Gabriel on the show to discuss this background here:
