Social hierarchies need to be dissolved before economic hierarchies can be attacked. Think before you do class reductionism.

There's a spectrum of reasonable opinion here. I'm fully in favor of dissolving social hierarchies, am highly supportive of trans positivity, and consider myself an intersectionalist. I'm not even necessarily opposed to banning based on these kind of downvotes, but I feel like it was handled poorly by the mods (banning way too many people in the first pass, not discussing it first, pointing to the poll that said the voting history access would be used for another purpose). I also think that I personally put more relative importance on class issues than some people on this site do, and that economic hierarchy issues are more painfully underrepresented in broader politics than those related to social hierarchy.

The thing that's bothered me about this whole struggle session is that it's felt like people with similar viewpoints to mine are getting lumped in and branded as TERFs, class reductionists, fascists, stupidpol, etc. This alienates a portion of the community that are, in reality, extremely closely aligned to the rest of the users here. It baffles me that we try to be nonsectarian, and can accommodate such different philosophies as anarchism and Marxist-Leninism, while simultaneously having very little tolerance for slightly different opinions about the relative importance of social and economic issues.
