I'm not saying that discrimination doesn't exist or needs not be addressed, far from it.a
But this conflation of subjectivity and identity politics with objective economic choices in politics, creates confusion. Why can't they be kept separate?
Their economic ideals are focused on one type of class wars (based on income disparities).
Whereas their identity politics are focused on culture wars (which, paradoxically split and separate people in new classes based on biology ie men versus women) .
Sometimes they even undermine one another.
