Like this guy Alex Ramos in the title. Just want to analyze this phenomena, it's so weird to me. My girlfriend is from cuba and thinks it's bizarre as well.

The first part is absolutely correct. Not sure if I agree with the second half though. I consider myself an intersectional leftist, not really into the class only view of leftism myself.
I mean I also consider myself an intersectionalist. But it only really works because conservative ideology is too damn stupid to stop being racist/sexist/homophobic for five seconds. If conservatives genuinely dropped the social bigotry towards certain groups while still discriminating against others, a ton of people would flake, as the shared experience of being oppressed goes away.
Oh, I absolutely agree.
Case in point: It*lians
They'd lose their best leverage for maintaining the libertarian hellstate they've constructed: huge numbers of racist white people will oppose good governance if it also helps minorities. They can't drop their white supremacy because it is and has always been one of the pillars that allows capitalism to operate.
Not to mention how important it is for imperialism.
Doesn't a dialectical material approach achieve intersectionality, if done honestly? I mean I agree its best to be explicit but I guess a lot of self proclaimed leftists don't actually read theory.
It should, Marx and Engels correctly identified patriarchy's intersection with capitalism
Biden made no effort with latinos, Obama deported more people than Bush, Biden is still building the wall, etc
idk how much of that stuff anybody in particular actually cares about but with a center that doesn't care about you, a left that was murdered by the government, and some ideological overlap with reactionary catholicism that sure sounds like conditions that end up with people deciding that joining the fascists could benefit them somehow.
