We used to have someone in our tenant union who is in a left organization who didn’t like identity politics, and liked to fly a logo that looked like the American flag.
I was like, is this going to really work in a community where the majority are immigrants and children of immigrants, and a substantial number are not documented, or have a green card?
The appeal of left-patriotism is only for white people, and a tiny number of Black people.
Doing class politics without addressing racism, and even engaging with people via their identities, doesn’t really work. It’s really a deep misunderstanding of why people have these identities.
