Probably would have IMO, even though I usually think cancel culture is a nebulous cloud used to pummel the left.

reading some of his work, it uh, is not what i would describe as “class reductionism” though i would not exactly agree with all of it.

a shame, because a talk with him probably would have been enlightening for many in the dsa. oh well.

He’s the prime example of using accusations of class reductionism in order to shut down all discussion of class. He’s been on TMBS a number of times, if you want to hear him speak (not sure if there are other podcasts who have hosted him).

would it have been a good idea to bring up how Obama was a neoliberal ghoul in the Floyd protests, surrounded by black protestors?

There’s a time and place of when to bring things up. That wouldn’t be it for why Obama sucks. Lol.

I think while class reductionism is a legitimate issue on the Left, it is mainly used strategically by the bourgeoisie as an unfounded accusation to divide the left
