8:54Now PlayingAre today’s culture wars connected to older Marxist ideas about class conflict? In this clip, the conversation examines the evolution of Marxist theory, the rise of Western Marxism, and the argument that class conflict expanded beyond economics into race, gender, sexuality, and other social categories.
The discussion explores how Critical Race Theory, queer theory, and other critical theories are presented as extensions of this framework, as well as the role of universities, academia, and concepts such as “white guilt” and equity. The conversation ultimately asks whether these competing identities make it harder for people to form a unified political movement.
The clip also examines the distinction between economic equality and social equality and the speakers’ argument about how socialist ideas have evolved over time.
Watch the full discussion for the deeper conversation about Marxism, socialism, academia, identity politics, and the future of the American political landscape.
