On Liberal White Supremacy and the Democratic Party
I argue in my book, Liberal White Supremacy: How Progressives Silence Racial and Class Oppression, that the divides among the political left can be understood through an analysis of four factors:
- Perspectives on capitalism
- Tactics (confrontational versus non-confrontational)
- Approach to racism
- Approach to working-class issues
This book extends the analysis from my 2016 CounterPunch article, which criticized Hillary Clinton’s inability to emotionally connect with working-class people.
Like many others, I have argued that the Democratic Party has lost touch with the working class.
However, unlike some critics, I do not believe prioritizing working-class people requires abandoning so-called “cultural” issues, such as transgender rights and racism.
