    “Cancel culture” stems from reactionaries dunking on white queer communities’ appropriation of Black English. Be wary of someone obsessively using this vocabulary denuded from the original verb

    uh

    “Late capitalism” was coined as a Nazi ideology by Werner Sombart, and while most people use the term “late capitalism” or “late-stage capitalism” for different reasons, the term is still difficult to de-attach from its origin

    If I've never heard of this guy, Is it really so hard to detach from its origin?

    If someone uses “identity politics” without knowing its origin with Black queer Marxist lesbian feminists and the Combahee River Collective (1974 - 1980), they probably picked up the term from reactionaries. Many Black leftists informed by queer Marxism and Marxist feminism prefer “representation politics” to describe capitalist recuperation of marginalized communities

    ?

    These guys also use the word settler instead of American, or western, which rings the 3rd-worldist bell in my head, but I think these guys all live in the west, based on their desire to uphold American hegemony? This is a very bizarre document, but it has lots of dunk tank potential.

        They cite this article in their bad jacketing section. This is an anti-antifa/blm socialist viewpoint. This document is totally, ideologically, and rhetorically unguided, and when I'm not about to go to bed, perhaps I will write more about it.

        Edit1: Oh shit, didn't mean to reply to you. Oh well. Time to go to bed.

      "Developed" or "High" capitalism are terms I've seen Marx use. He also constantly posits that capitalism has to collapse because it began it's decline the second it made the first proles, so "Late" isn't a big jump if you agree with him.
