The misguided author of this poster seems to think that Capitalism can be restrained from eating your children. Capitalism is a system that must be REPLACED rather than “democratically controlled” by those it victimizes.

The Left that I belong to correctly holds that identity politics is no substitute for class analysis and worker solidarity across identities. However, a Marxian analysis can coexist with initiatives that seek to make the country more inclusive and repair at least some old wrongs. DEI does that.
