Talk:Cultural Left

This redirect is wrong. Cultural Left is a term coined by Richard Rorty in his 1998 book Achieving Our Country to differentiate it from the Reformist Left (a term he also coined):

"With this partial substitution of Freud for Marx as a source of social theory, sadism rather than selfishness has become the principal target of the Left. The heirs of the New Left of the Sixties have created, within the academy, a cultural Left. Many members of this Left specialize in what they call the 'politics of difference' or 'of identity' or 'of recognition.' … The new cultural Left which has resulted from these changes has few ties to what remains of the pre-Sixties re­formist Left."
