There's a lot of confusion about how to relate class politics to PMC culture. Unfortunately, the real disagreements get moralized and personalized. With relatively minimal snark, @DanielTutt and I try explore the key divisions within Marxist class analysis. Link⬇️

For @NewLeftReview I theorized Trumpism as a product of cultural liberalism.

To get there, I compared Tumpism and Japanese fascism and drew insights from Tosaka Jun's The Japanese Ideology (1935).
