The ’70s witnessed the Navnirman student’s movement, essentially an urban upsurge against those who were repeating ad nauseum the slogans of green and white revolutions. To recover from the setback caused by the Navnirman movement, the Congress formulated an election strategy around a combination of caste and community known as KHAM (Kshatriya-Harijan-Adivasi-Muslim combine). After the great success of this formula in the Assembly elections of 1980, the upper castes for the first time sensed a political and economic threat to their domination. To them it appeared that their political power was slipping away and being transferred to the ‘backward castes and communities’. The educated middle class, mainly the Brahmins, Banias and Patidars, reacted sharply by starting an agitation against the reservation system in 1981. Probably for the first time in independent India, a modern industrial metropolis experienced such extreme forms of caste violence. The clashes between the savarnas and the Dalits in the industrial periphery of Ahmedabad gradually evolved into a caste war that spread to the towns in 18 out of the then 19 districts. In many villages dominated by land owning Patidars in North and Central Gujarat, Dalit bastis were burnt. Caste tension resurfaced in 1985 in the second anti-reservation agitation. The issue this time was the increase in job quotas of the non-Dalit socially and educationally backward castes; yet the victims were all Dalits. As a result of these two agitations, the Brahmin-Bania-Patidar combine acquired a savarna unity.
Achyut Yagnik, ‘The pathology of Gujarat’ (2002)
Full Frontal did a segment this week that was critical of some billionaire who’s campaigning for impeachment, on the basis that he’s probably just setting himself up for a presidential run. I don’t disagree with the premise (and I certainly don’t want your goddamn billionaire presidents), but the segment bugged me nonetheless. This really irritating bit of Received Liberal Wisdom™ pervaded their whole perspective: that talking about impeachment is BAD... because conservatives don’t like it.
And listen, I’m never going to be surprised by Democratic “’””””strategists’”’”;’’” kneecapping themselves because they think that the fucking ground will swallow them if they say out loud what they actually want. They’re like that with health care, gun laws, abortion rights — really, any progressive policy at all — but it was especially stunning in this piece, which spent half its runtime showing just how effective talk of impeachment was at energizing left-leaning voters. All of that energy was dismissed offhand with a single glancing verbal reference to the idea that yes, sure, our voters are practically frothing at the mouth to vote for candidates who will impeach, but did you ever think, maybe hardcore right-wing Trumpists aren’t!? REVERSE FOURTH DIMENSIONAL CHECKMATE, BINCHHHHH
And like, guys? Democrats? Please show some fucking self-respect. It’s time to accept that the tiki-toting #MAGA wall builders just aren’t into you. You can only trot out so many milquetoast boomer moderates waving white “electable” banners and promising tons of conservative crossover before their constant failure just gets embarrassing. Give that shit up! It never works. You need to focus on the people who actually want what you have to offer, and then offer it to them.
Is there a discussion to be had about timing? Would it be responsible to make caveats like “if the Mueller probe reveals evidence of wrongdoing”? Does it make sense to field primary candidates on both sides of the issue, to see who can get the votes out? Sure! But the left has got to stop dismissing out of hand anyone who dares stake out a combative political position. The one thing every “electable” candidate in my lifetime has in common (other than being straight white married and boring, of course) is not getting elected.
