Summary
Cory Doctorow's post critiques the notion of 'post-politics,' arguing that it confuses identity politics with substantive political issues. He emphasizes the difference between the left and right in terms of power dynamics, property rights, and human rights, asserting that property rights should serve to protect human rights rather than be viewed as inherently virtuous. The piece is rich with references to political theory, personal insights, and contemporary political issues, making a case against political centrism as ultimately serving rightist interests.
