I know I don’t say things about politics/political theory much, but one of the advantages of Marxist accounts of society is that we can recognise that practical claims to a politics of inclusion before communism (a state of absolute inclusion) are always going to be false. On one side this means that we can offer a critique of those politics that claim to be inclusive as ideological, and truly exclusive, and on the other side we can recognise that certain parts of society are composed of bigoted shitheads who we do not have to *convince* of anything. I just wish more people I knew would take these issues more seriously in their practical political conduct. Anyway, this is why I was feeling upset today. Upset in a way that making rustling noises didn’t even make better.
