Marginalization disrupts class solidarity, it gives the working poor an underclass to feel better than. Or, alternately, a visible threat of social demotion. Not to mention how a frequently reproducing populace is needed for expansionist wars and that requires antifeminist policies.

Social equality is an ESSENTIAL part of leftist activism.

Also like, it's a good thing on its own merits too!!!!

I always point this out. Because of how humans evolved, as an extremely social and collaborative species, equality is moral AND effective.

There is a legit problem with the left being composed of people that do t have problems with money so they ignore economic issues but yeah it’s all intertwined.

There's this idea that there's a conflict between the Serious, Materialist Left and the Woke when in reality what's happening is you're getting psyopped into thinking it's embarrassing to be genuinely invested in equality

The Actual Reactionary Left (versus what Charlie Kirk thinks is "the Reactionary Left")

Like, at that point, why even bother with being a leftist? lmao

This is, of course, in reference to the type of mindset discussed in the original post. Just to be as clear as possible.

Has any elite/billionaire said a word about the attacks on civil rights & the kidnapping of people/sent to torture prisons?
Not that I'm aware, but they whine about the economy non-stop.
These people would stand there & watch us all be killed, & feel & do nothing.
The depravity is par for the course

Other than JB Pritzker, who is governor of IL? Nope! Even Cuban is mum on this.

Positioning yourself as holding the economic grievances of the left but staying socially right is one of the first moves of reactionaries pandering to populism

The liberal center and hard left both like to try and position themselves as the ‘reasonable’ form of that stance

sc00trgrrl.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah I knew a lot of guys like that that wounded up being full far right

In the end the common denominator for populism becomes social conservatism rather than economic socialism or progressive reform
