[quote=Anonymous]Cory Doctorow's recent piece on the resurgence of the labor movement is really good:

Here is a bit of it:

"When liberals called the shot in the progressive coalition, they scolded leftists not to speak of class, but rather to focus on identity – to be intersectionalists.

That was a trick. There's no incompatibility between caring about class and caring about gender, race and sexual orientation. Those fast food workers who are about to get a 30% wage-hike in California? Overwhelmingly Black or brown, overwhelmingly female.

The liberal version of intersectionalism observes a world run by 150 rich white men and resolves to replace half of them with women, queers and people of color. The leftist version seeks to abolish the system altogether. The leftist version of intersectionalism cares about bias and discrimination not just because of how it makes people *feel,* but because of how it makes them *live.* It cares about wages, housing, vacations, child care – the things you can't get because of your identity."
