Marxism and Assault. II:
The central flaw with contemporary progressive thought is the nihilation of the Other. To be regarded as Other is established as the most unfavourable sort of Hell because to regard an other AS Other (to Otherise) is seen as a vile sin. And if one man's sin is an other man's hell, the default for cynical atheists who disbelieve in cosmic and karmic justice, then the former necessitates the latter and vice versa: to the degree we are afraid to exclude to that same degree we fear being excluded. And the moment that exclusion is justified in order to exclude the exclusionary -- when we feel entitled to be Intolerant of the Intolerant -- at that moment conformism and fear become a synthesis more dangerous than State and Corporate power.
