First of all, you can’t seriously expect anyone to read a 20-page transcript to help you out with a homework assignment, can you?

I will admit I didn’t read this whole exchange, but from what I read, here’s what I would advise if asked with whom I “identify:”

I am an individual, not the soulless member of some arbitrary marxist “class.” All the participants say some things that make sense to me. All of them say some things that don’t. I don’t “identify” (whatever that means) with any of them.

Or you could go Cloward-Piven on them. Take the most radical one and claim you “identify” with him, but explain that he doesn’t go far enough in his extremism. Take his arguments to the point of absurdity. But make sure you stay in character if questioned. Give the loons a taste of their own bile.

Or you can do what you actually WILL do, which is take the bait, become the straw man for this propaganda exercise, and walk out of the classroom ashamed of who you are, the willing victim of an ideological lynch mob.

But you’ll get a passing grade ...

No, I won’t do that. I refuse. I will go all “Thomas Sowell” and Rev. Martin Luther King on them and talk about the nature of human beings and the importance of the individual. I might also talk about racism in other countries - African and Asian - in which there isn’t a white person in sight, and yet there is racism - sometimes barbaric and murderous. How will they explain that?
