I think I tend to agree with Carrol here (not totally sure because
when we discuss these things he often seem more interested in telling
people what not to say or what not to talk about rather than actually
talking things). Unfortunately my time is limited in the near term,
but I think it might be productive, for me at least, to talk about
what "class" politics are/could be. Because I'm at least as skeptical
of class politics as I am of identity politics, and I think there are
lots of problems with calls by Michaels and others here for a "return"
to heroic class politics, which is frequently insisted on but rarely
defined.
