73 - Identity Politics w/ Michael Richmonds and Alex Charnley

Today Michael Richmond and Alex Charnley, the authors of Fractured: Race, Class, Gender and the Hatred of Identity Politics, join the podcast to discuss how reactionary forms of identity politics operate, both in the world today and historically. We discuss why the working class has never been united, how black feminists used concepts of identity in theory and organising, the statue defender protests of 2020 and much more!
