'Identity politics' chops us up into convenient little political pieces or clumps that are more easily ruthlessly & cynically managed by the ruling class hiding as ever behind the curtain. 'Divide & rule' has been tried & tested many a time and the results are visible all around us and I suggest the results are always nasty. I personally loathe 'Identity politics' for the damage it has done and continues to do to us. I recognise the individuality and inter-relatedness of all of us humans but that's about it. We should concentrate on important issues that affect us generally. All 'identities' will benefit then. To do this requires direct democracy or Parliament of the Streets where village meetings are held that are open to all to decide what's what at a local level and, if required, with 21st c. networkable technology to discuss issues of more regional, national and international importance. A more centralised administration appropriate to the task would organise the work to carry out the Peoples' will. We do not even need politicians let alone the disgusting heaps of bankster-owned garbage called political parties.
