You likely know the leftist U.S. based sociologist Christian Parenti, but if not, you must read his recent essay published though nonsite.org, which is a magnificent piece of cultural and political archeology. In it he discovers a deep connection between Marcuse (more specifically his third wife Ricky Sherover-Marcuse), Scientology and the privilege walk of contemporary EDI, corporate wokeness, Robin DiAngelo (pthhh!) et al. Find it here: https://nonsite.org/the-first-privilege-walk/ It "squares the circle" as they say, between Frankfurt School and 60's west coast self-absorbed self-enhancement, setting the stage for the ridiculousness that is the current left.

Fantastic read. Thank you. All of it resonated, but in particular when you note that human beings are reduced to “nodes, vectors, objects”- right in line with the US Supreme Court justice Sotomayer who can’t seem to discern the difference between a human being and a toaster.
