This is why "Communists aren't people" and should all be killed.

the left's group affiliations have no moral standing either.

>this leaves them free as individualls to behave however they like, as long as their group affiliation is virtuous.

...and as long as they don't question the narrative.

Some intellectuals hoped that intersectionality could be the lever against Critical Theory because it proves that the individual is the lowest common denominator. However that was not the case, because to postmodernists intersectionality is an additive process - heaping on opressions like a scorecard - strengthening your group afiliations.

not being combative, but who were these intellectuals who countered critical theory and all of its bastards?

Specifically? I recall Juden Peterson talking several years ago in a video about postmodernism/neo-marxism and mentioning the rise of intersectional feminism and how theoretically, intersectionality should allow us to reveal the infinite variety of human experiences and return to the individual as a common denominator.

In the book Cynical Theories Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay discuss this point as well but clarify that Intersectionality, instead of being a subtractive process (as reason would argue), it is being used as an additive process - heaping opressed or opressing atributes onto people to create a profile, like a scorecard.
