Political correctness is a rehabilitation of the racial imagination… shoving people back into biological boxes that they spent 200 years trying to escape.

In the 60s there emerged a new left which had shifted from economic issues and the working class to cultural issues and the perceived problems with advertising and consumerism. “Marxist libertarian” has no meaning as a label but Brendan is interested in pro-growth policies and a focus on the autonomy of the ordinary man. He also described himself as a Trotskyist which is to believe that society should “increase the power of man over nature, and decrease the power of man over man”. Brendan phrased it even more simply as a question, “do you trust the people?” and unfortunately all too commonly from the left the honest answer is “no”.
