Deep dives
Shift towards racial identity politics on the left
The shift on the left from class-based politics towards race as the defining or organizing principle became prominent after around 2010-2012. The focus shifted towards identity politics, dividing the world between oppressors and the oppressed. This shift was influenced by the racial reckonings in America and resulted in a simplistic view of oppressor-oppressed dynamic, neglecting complexities and overlaps between different identities.
