i think a lot about just how many people fascism and the right are alienating and trying to oppress
and i really wonder if everyone else in history didn't have the same kind of sense. i dont think they did, but is that our 'enlightened' bias? did thomas mueztner expect peasant women to be an integral part of his peasant rebellion???
but anyway intersectionality and firearms are what really give me hope so dont ruin that for me
The term is new but the concept is not. It picked up in liberal academic circles because they're constantly rediscovering things that communists and anarchists already knew 150 years ago and forcing it through the lens of liberal "progress" as if it's a brand new insight. The important part is to remove the socialism aspect.
It ends up working as a form of recuperation, a toothless mimic of organising for social change that is frequently wielded against socialists that say, "economics too" (which, incidentally, was included in the original liberal definition).
Anyways I still use the term to communicate with liberals as a shorthand for "I'm not a reactionary, how about you?"
