Judith Butler warns world is ‘witnessing restoration of patriarchy and racism

Pink

......Speaking at an event at the Reina Sofía Museum, in Madrid, hosted by El País, to mark the tenth anniversary of the Spanish newspaper’s “Ideas’ supplement, Butler said: “We are witnessing the restoration of patriarchy, nationalism, racism and capitalist individualism. It is the nostalgic fury of right-wing movements that want to return to an idealised past, one that perhaps never truly existed, and to re-establish hierarchical orders.

“We need to revive a Marxist analysis in light of the new social movements. We must commit to saying what we want to see realised, and not just complain about what is going wrong.”

It's not marxist analysis that needs to be revived but left that is not afraid of confrontation. It weren't kind words or brilliant theoretical works that defeated fascism the last time.
