Identity politics is the root cause of Albo’s success

Albo is Karl Marx's executive chef. And it might just be the greatest challenge to our liberal democracy

In Australia, all aspects of our laws have been usurped by identity politics. Our courts, in my opinion, actively support it. This is not identity politics like Farmer’s Pride or the oldest bloke who feels like he’s losing his identity because he is no longer medically fit to hold a heavy licence. It’s the politics of grievance.

People can now declare themselves neurodiverse. It gives them an excuse for being an unreflective arsehole.

Albo can gaslight you because it’s the new normal, you bigot.

The reality is that identity politics helps the communist cause. Marx didn’t write recipes for tomorrow’s kitchens. But make no mistake, Albo is his executive chef in Australia.

Karl Marx popularised the idea that talent was a fluke of birth and therefore wealth should be distributed ‘from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs’.

Equality of outcome and a focus on society as a whole would replace Mill’s equality of opportunity… pic.twitter.com/bGydldVtkr
