This article seems to me is criticizing Jacobin magazine for not including the value of identity
politics, that devaluing it is missing the boat. Which of course extends
to the overall dismissal of it generally as some sort of postmodern
excess.
"Both Corbynism in
the UK, and the Jacobin-centred public sphere more broadly, have much
to gain from a serious engagement with what the latter have derisively
termed 'identitarian Leftism'. Foregrounding the histories,
victories, and struggles of indigenous, Black, queer, feminist,
disabilities, and migrant movements and how they have successfully
theorized and contested patriarchal, racial, capitalist, and imperialist
hierarchies only deepens a socialist analysis and ensures that the
failures of exclusionary, one-dimensional forms of organising are not
repeated."
