I understand that but you are confusing the reason for my original comment. The article doesn’t use evidence to criticize the PSL. That’s all I wanted to clear up.
The article, if I’m being honest, feels like it’s trying to do way too much at once. It’s trying to make a salient point about the western left (which I think it does), but the criticism of the PSL is strange. I understand and agree with you there.
I remember reading it and thinking that was the strangest part of the article.
It’s an easy trap to fall into because, as Marxists, a lot of the stuff we analyze is either holistic in the first place or had very wide ranging applications.

That’s a great way of putting it. Trying to do too much at once.
