BIOLOGICAL LENINISM

This is a three part article from 2017 that I came across today.  A few may object to some of his views, but he has an interesting analysis of how and why the old left, with it's emphasis on class, labor rights and economic fairness, was usurped by a new left based on identity politics and the cult of victimhood.  He also provides a decent explanation of what is meant by "Cultural Marxism", or what he calls "Biological Leninism". BIOLOGICAL LENINISM Part 1 It's 100 years now since the Russian Revolution. The Soviet Union. Lenin and the Bolsheviks. Leninism. It's been 100 years already, but you realize how present the whole thing remains when you look at the press these days. People are still praising or damning the revolution. As if it mattered anymore. As if it were something more than history. As if the left and right of today had remotely anything in common with the left and right of Lenin's day. I won't praise Lenin, an evil man. But great me
