Identity has its animal or perhaps even mineral basis

[Identity politics, in the modern sense, is associated with ideologies, but for Connolly, identity formations go down to pre-rational consolidations. This makes it impossible to wish-away the field of identity politics, or to promote its rejection in black-and-white terms, just as with Metaphysics, Theology or Nationalism. Identity has its animal or perhaps even mineral basis and worse, the ideational immixture in the pre-rational psychology makes identity vulnerable to sub-rational behavioral conditioning, a political lesson all fundamentalist and totalitarian ideologies know only too well.
