    Judith says, categories give the individual a place in society, however they also oppress them. If an individual rejects to be categorized they have no place in society, however the place they are assigned in society marganalises them. So they have to reject categories.
    She highlights a crucial problem and then provides a solution that isn't tenable.
    The problem here is that she leaves nothing after getting rid of categories, Individuals are left with no way to locate themselves or other people in society.

      Lol she is referring to a really old philosophical problem and I doubt she really is offering a solution to it, she’s just linking what she says to it.

      @@SOLOcan What do you mean? Her solution to "categories that marginalize" is abolition of categories.
      The problem is humans and all other animals navigate the world using categories. E.g Gender, if you want to have offsprings, you need to differentiate between male and female, to choose the individual that falls within the category that allows you to reproduce.

    Well the AMISH , have as a voluntary society created a balance that suits them .... and they do very well , lots of children and the fastest growing demographics in America or the world - great wonderful children for the next generation. Any way, as she is presenting herself as an expert on raising children here , one might ask... how would old Judith know anything about children or child raising?? How many children has she raised ? Of course she may have rejected such options .... She can reject what ever she wants - basic human rights supports that ( see UDHR 1948) , including any social role she may not wish to support , or paying any taxes, tithes , or tribute to any government, society, church, organization she does not voluntarily support (see basic human rights again) ... good for her.... However her critiques of liberal autonomy or the sovereign individual as expressed in basic human rights ( see UDHR 1948) may be a problem ...
    Leftist totalitarian pathologies that justify coercion and suppression of dissent veiled in a self serving rhetoric of “emancipatory politics” that has defined “political socialism” for the last 200 years can be assessed or condemned using standard HUMAN RIGHTS norms as defined and universally agreed to in the UDHR 1948. See - www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights

    THE ONE THING Cultural Leftists the “Politically Correct”, the sanctimonious “Progressives”, the “Woke Dogmatists”, “Ego-Activists”, Evangelical Socialists and the old line Marxist do not want you to know is that Marxism, their underlining belief system, beyond being a failed, politically fraudulent narrative, is historically an updated variant on ancient anti-Semitic racism reflecting the pathologies of its founder Karl Marx. “Marxism” is a secular-religious dogma with a history of undermining the Jewish people, Judeo -Christian values and todays Human Rights norms. Marxism embeds both an explicit and subliminal anti-Semitic Racism veiled in the rhetorical mumbo-jumbo of social class envy and nonsense economic theory.
    The Marxist narrow materialists definition of life is the premise for their claim to total dominance, a variation on the old rational every thug has used to dominate others from when the Pharaoh oppressed the Jewish people, to todays Xi-Jinping’s genocide of the Uighurs. The ‘king” and his narcissistic administrators must control everyone.
    Marxism, given the well-known pathologies of its founder Karl Marx is more a politicization of his malignant narcissism than coherent political theory. An observation reinforced by the pre-disposition of contemporary Marxists to political-role playing as the vulnerable victim or the grandiose (the save the world type) narcissistic “social activist”.
    The appeal of Marxism to narcissists is found in its tenets which foster total dominance of its advocates, and the culturally and socially degrading context it places others in when measured against basic human rights ( UDHR 1948) or by Jewish and Judeo -Christian cultural norms. Sadly as narcissists, Marxists can not abide criticism, which Marxist can not counter in rational debate and so often rely on censorship, (“cancel culture”), personal attacks ( see art.12 UDHR), and rhetorical subterfuge.
    As all informed people know Karl Marx was not a well person, a virulent racist who used the “N’ word, hated most races except selected European races, and in spite of being of Jewish origins himself, hated the Jewish people, and Jeudo-Christian values with a particular venom ( see N. Weyl “Karl Marx Racist”) . Marx’s anti-Semitic racism delineated his first major essay “On the Jewish Question”, ( also known as “A World without Jews” ), a text dedicated to assimilationist genocide of the Jewish people, and described by Bernard Lewis Professor Emeritus of Princeton University has as "one of the classics of anti-Semitic propaganda”. Karl Marx’s racist anti-Semitism would define his life and fraudulent “research”, both explicitly as well as subliminally in his rhetoric, writings and policies.
    Karl Marx’s anti-Semitic RACIST discourse is veiled in his fraudulent pseudo-rational, economic mumbo -jumbo. A rhetorically closed self-justifying system, subjective definitions, an absence of natural economic or independent price signals, lack of internal consistency, the nuttiness of a “labour theory of value”, the pagan religion (dogma) of “historical / dialectical materialism”, sectarian intolerance, racism, anti-Semitism a series of rather glaring epistemological problems and so on. It was more an expression of a narcissistic pathology than rational economic analysis, as noted by Robert Solow (Nobel Prize Economics 1987) “most serious English-speaking economists regard Marxist economics as an irrelevant dead end.”
    The great Oxford scholar Leszek Kołakowski reflections on Marxism was that “It is just unadulterated hokum, nauseating in its sentimentality, dangerous in its appeal to the credulous.” some think he was being kind, sadly the most harmed are often young trusting, naïve even gullible students.
    Today the toxic influence of Marxism within the academy has underscored a growing concern regarding the liabilities of the fraudulent, biased and harmful effects of an educational culture dominated by the kind of the political/cultural imbalance found in many academic communities. An imbalanced Culturally Leftist space unsafe for too many students as it stigmatizes Judeo-Christian and Abrahamic peoples and values as it incites Human Rights abuses, as defined by such normative standards as the UDHR 1948. www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights
    Sadly however Marxism is today the most prevalent form of structural/cultural anti-Semitic Racism, designed to undermine the core identities of Jewish and Judeo-Christian people and the Basic Human Rights (UDHR 1948) of everyone else. It is an old narrative of narcissistic “power seeking” be it fostered by the ancient Pharaohs of Egypt as the “god” of the temporal world or the contemporary jargon of “historical / dialectical materialism” and “scientific socialism” that effects the same outcome, the dominance of a narrow self serving political elite. In such “belief systems” everyone is ideologically framed by governing narcissists who hate any independence from their “theoretical” claim to ‘authority”. Today such claims to authority are often embedded in the subtler political or cultural semiotics (political gas lighting) of the Cultural Leftists.
    The fact is that due to its premise in the pagan religion or dogma of historical / dialectical materialism, Marxist is RACISM when understood through a Jewish, Judeo-Christian, Abrahamic or a human rights lens (UDHR 1948), a point ignored or denied by the Cultural Leftists.
    ……..Identifying both the intrinsic RACISM and Human Rights Abuse these kinds of Cultural Leftists and Ego-activists promote can start with understanding the distorting cultural semiotics and subliminal anti-Semitic Racism promoted by Karl Marx…a new variant on the racist cultural rhetoric that the Pharaoh used against the independence of the Jewish people 5000 years ago - The oldest racism in history. th-cam.com/video/rZh01xRO_Qg/w-d-xo.html

      Well as an individual you would be a threat to the "Sacred Secular Collective" as defined by ... people like old Judith here. To reinforce the "power" of the "Sacred Secular Collective" , they would just have to turn you into a "scapegoat" ( see Capitalism or Capitalists or the 1% or Financiers, Bankers, Bourgeoisie all by the way well established tropes for Jewish people) and when they get around to turning you into a human sacrifice ( or tax peon ) they will by such cultural pagan processes reinforce the kind coercive authority that the Pharaoh or the Romans held over the Jews. Follow their lead with critical theory ... and you too can be a pagan god of all you subject to "critique" ... LOL

    When a Left-wing university student asks a 'question', it frequently runs on for at least 1 minute. The first one here takes 1 minute and 11 seconds. Their minds are so filled with postmodern jargon and ideology, they struggle to even form coherent thoughts. Their minds are trying to balance so many contradictory ideas that are never acknowledged (eg. women are powerful but need multiple special protections, affirmative action programs etc.) that they are constantly in danger of falling flat on their face.
