This is a really fine interview, thank you! Nancy Fraser is veru good in making things intelligable. Her notion of progressive neoliberalism against reactionary populism is a really helpfull conceptualisation. I had the same reflections and reservations about a lot of these ‘social movements’ that are more or less incorporated and are not very liberating towards the 99%. This talk really helps to think about these issues.

A remarkable woman! Stunningly articulate!

thx for the upload- some hope and intellect in a place/world dominated by financial capitalism, neo-liberalism and sexism...

Fuck, I've watched the first two minutes and she nails it, amazing: "mainstream feminism has largely become corporate feminism, it has given up any broad, robust sense of what social equality in general means. instead of equality it seems focused on meritocracy", bang!

[@slobodanjevtovic7102]

Meritocracy can only shine out of equality.

11:22 she literally predicted Biden.

One answer to these social movement woes: exclusive self-identities. We have been conditioned so heavily through commodities, advertising, etc, to relate to all things in terms of exclusive, individualistic identities, being pitted against what they are not. they're inherently antithetical to solidarity and consensus, we need Hegelian sublation into the ethical, shared social realm, where your identities are held in tact, but are not the driving force of the debate, but the common end/good that allows these rights and privileges in the first place. Axel Honneth and Alasdair MacIntyre also focus on this.
