  Yeah being part of smth and identifying as smth are two separate things.

  I’m a man, straight, brown, proletariat etc. The question is what part of that do I see as the most fundamental part of my identity or politics.

      This is also where the concept of alienation in the Marxist sense comes in. He took Hegel’s framework, which Feuerbach and Bauer had used to analyse religion and he applied that to law and economics.

      So this Marxist alienation which is in the Hegelian tradition is worth reading.

      Now alienation can interestingly also be a desired outcome in leftist movements as the French existentialists talked about.

      We also have a third brand of alienation in Buddhism etc.

      Some want it some hate it.

      I’m with Marx on this one.

      If you are interested I can find some introductory article for you to take a look at.

        I have a little knowledge there, but I’m good, thanks. I’m really more interested in defeating the republiQan hate machine so we can get people healthcare and save the environment.

        Not that it’s not interesting - I just have a slightly different take than Marx because Marx didn’t live in 2025.
