This is on point, I'm Megna Chacrabardi.

Frederick de Bohr identifies himself as a former left-wing organizer.

Profiles of de Bohr have himself identifying as a Marxist, an atheist.

He would like to limit the labels to just two.

Quote, I don't like any label other than Marxist or Socialist for myself.

He wants to hold the New Statesman magazine.

But truthfully, after reading his new book,

I wonder now if de Bohr would seek to shed any identity label.

Because the left's hyper-focus and hyper-exaltation on how people self-identify

to the exclusion of any other way of seeing the world,

maybe one of the reasons why de Bohr says progressive movements are, quote,

forever-wandering from the righteous to the ridiculous.

And very rarely are they marching towards lasting success.

Well, that is the thrust of de Bohr's new book.

It's called How Elites Eight, the Social Justice Movement and Freddie de Bohr,

joins us from Hartford, Connecticut.

Welcome to on point.

Thank you for having me.

OK, so first, let me just quickly ask you, would you use any self-identifying label now,

or do you take an issue with my reading of identity

as part of your criticism of the book?

Well, I understand what you're saying.
