Communism is a Struggle for Social Universality...
...and Liberal NeoRacism is the psychological obstacle that Prevents their Achieving It. The struggle for maintaining the existing particular identities (race/ sex/ religion/ etc.) prevents the unification of those identities into Social Classes, into a class struggle that allows workers to bring their collective ability to withhold their labour to counter Capitalist attempts to exploit and commodify it. Identity guilt-pride spirit builds and stands in the breach, transforming "guilt" into "pride" and granting a feeling of Superiority (moral) for the existing Self-Identification categories (race/ sex/ religion/ etc.).
Have a Happy Labour Day!

Do I want to watch this video in which Slavoj Zizek (as per your blog post title) talks about people that don't exist? Perhaps, if it will give me more insight into your delusions. But I'm inclined to not want to watch this sniffing moron.

The idea that supporting racial justice or gender equity somehow constitutes “neo-racism” or “sexism against men” is not only intellectually dishonest -- it’s a strategic misrepresentation designed to flip the moral script and discredit progressive critique.
You're absolutely right to point out that Trump-era politics leaned heavily on White identity politics -- not just implicitly, but often explicitly. From “build the wall” chants to the demonization of immigrants and the glorification of a nostalgic, exclusionary vision of America, the campaign weaponized identity to galvanize a particular demographic. That’s textbook identity politics -- just not the kind the blogger wants to acknowledge.
Meanwhile, the political left, as you noted, has consistently foregrounded class solidarity, labor rights, and economic justice. Figures like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have made it clear that their movement is about lifting up the working class, regardless of race, gender, or religion. The left’s engagement with identity is about inclusion, not division --it’s about recognizing how different forms of oppression intersect with class, not replacing class with identity.
