As an internationalist I applaud you for choosing “human” as your identity :)

I grew up in Germany with the MELTING POT (all caps intended) idea of America which negates class issues inherent in every version of any capitalist system.

Now at 55 y/o I am happy to be a “class traitor” in the sense that as a property owning comfy middle class middle aged dude with wife and kid I am in full solidarity with marginalized immigrants in the country that issues my passport AND the country that issues my Green Card, rather than that nefarious wool-over-eyes-class-interest-negating national identity BS.

Feels good!

Congratz to Ken! I will get back to reading his work but first finishing Peter Weiss “The Aesthetics of Resistance” (highly recommended, perfect for the current moment, 1000 pages of analysis of anti-fascist movements, centered around the 1920s/1930s Germany but with that true internationalist framework) and then “Infinite Jest” for the 30th anniversary starting in February.

Cheers sorry I am rambling!
