If you think about it, Das Kapital was ALSO the work of a dead white male. Soviet Russia was run by white males. And it played a decisive role in fashioning autocratic, abusive rule in many brown skinned countries, just like “Capitalism”, so called, supposedly did.
There are no ideas–or very few–ideas floating around universities, including that of dead white males, which were not originated by dead white males, with some dead white females. Self revulsion is certainly not a new thing, but intelligent people making a virtue of it–perhaps I should call it a religious fetish ( or sexual fetish, even, for some)–can scarcely be called a practice consistent with mental health and wellness.
