Those that turn to Marxism as the answer are actively rebuffed by those who should supposedly be their allies.
This hits hard, since I have seen this happen too. It's just all about infighting and destroying one another and POSTING. There is no solidarity, no in-person praxis. Just POSTING.
no one is perfect. and that doesn't mean we have to accept reactionary positions. but rejecting people as a whole because they have a single bad stance is counterproductive. Not only do I think someone who is a leftist on 99% of things, except, say, sex work, is still fundamentally a good person and a net positive for our cause, but also, someone who 99% agrees with you will probably come around eventually on that last little bit. whether it's veganism or sex work or neopronouns or guns or bunny cops or whatever.
