You Know I Think What Joy James Terms “Neo-Radicalism”

Is one of the most dangerous reactionary currents ever developed.

Its use of radical jargon and aesthetics while playing to establishment politics is a wonderful way to say “turn back, this is as far left as it goes”, and a wonderful way to alienate working class people from leftist aesthetics and ideals.

Also the use of unpaid, underpaid, mistreated, low waged, usually female workers by NGOs says a whole helluva lot.  The “youth organizing” NGOs when analyzed from a labor standpoint essentially exploit child labor.

Anti-consumerist ideology alienates working class people denied stuff they want and need for too damned long.

Purity politics alienate people who don’t come from the academy after they get pounced on for using incorrect terminology.

It is the most perfect anti-communism wrapped up in radical rhetoric.  A circle jerk of pseudo-revolutionary liberalism.
