Let me add another source from “mere orthodoxy” about anti-racism, and the section on “anti capitalism.”

“ Defining what an ideology is, by what it does, is wrong. There will always be a difference between the aspirations of a system of thought and the actual results of that system of thought. Knowing what an ideology is, as both the idea and the results of that idea is of critical importance, but it is a critical distinction that Kendi does not allow here. Given Kendi’s openness to critique and reevaluation, it would not surprise me if, in a few years, he acknowledges this as a procedural failing, even if his conclusions about capitalism remain the same.”

This can of course be used to support or refute both of our arguments, but there are nuggets that are valuable here in either case...

I enjoy listening to Brett Weinstein in general but this interview with Brendan O’Neill is a “great conversation” on this topic:
