Populismus - Freund oder Feind der Linken?

Zitat von Bruto

Obwohl da Rechte mit Intellektuellen eine kleine Schnittmenge haben.

Der Rechte mag nicht den Islam, während dem Intellektuellen Religionen durchweg suspekt sind.

Das wäre mir jetzt doch ein bisschen zu pauschal. Nur weil jemand als Intellektuelle/r durchgeht, heißt das nicht, dass er/sie deshalb zwangsläufig religionskritisch sein muss.

Und leider gibt es auch durchaus nicht wenige, und zum Teil ziemlich einflussreiche, rechte Intellektuelle. Der leichter zu identifizierende Teil von denen sammelt z.B. hier seine geistigen Ergüsse: Sezession.de

Zitat von Jacobin - 14.03.21

[...]Rather than the bogeyman of “identity politics,” a poorly defined term usually deployed as a slur, what appears to afflict Die Linke and many new left formations is a politics that could be described as “identitarian” — politics derived not from one’s objective economic interests, but rather as a set of moral convictions. Understood in such a way, politics becomes less about developing a strategy to win over a majority and more about conveying the correct ethical principles and projecting the right aesthetic sensibilities, a tendency recently criticized by outgoing Die Linke MP Fabio De Masi.[...]

Die Linke will only be able to live up to its mission in the long term if it manages to become a mass working-class party, with deep roots in the still powerful labor movement. Crucially, this would allow it to mobilize the kind of support needed to take on powerful capitalist interests. That means campaigning around universal issues like housing, transportation, and wages that drive a wedge between Die Linke and the establishment parties, while demonstrating its ability to win concrete improvements for working people where possible, like the rent cap in Berlin. It also means deploying the kind of aggressive but serious rhetoric that Wagenknecht and De Masi have excelled in for years. That they are at loggerheads with their party is at the very least regrettable, given that many Linke politicians could stand to learn a few things from them when it comes to giving a convincing stump speech.

However, this does not mean, as some critics claim, that the party needs to ignore questions like sexism, racism, and other forms of oppression in order to be perceived as a workers’ party. The historical workers’ parties were always organizations that fought for the rights of women and minorities, often playing a pioneering role in these struggles. But unlike the left parties of today, they could plausibly argue that the only path to universal emancipation was to fight for a socialist order, and that the road to socialism necessarily went through building a strong workers’ movement led by a strong socialist party.[...]

Punktsymmetrie ist was Schönes.

Ja. Irgendwie redundant. Ist halt die ARD.
