Does any of this really fuckin' matter at the end of the day?

I would consider myself closer ideologically to intersectional lib than a class reductionist communist, so yes it does matter.
class reduction "communist"
it's no true scotsman shit but nazbols & stupidpols are indistinguishable from cryptofash
Yeah we Can take it to the extreme with those fucks, but there’s also quite a bit of middle where leftists are quite ignorant of the struggles of marginalized people.
Good point
I...worked on this critique of DSA "leftists" for a year...and...chapochat just...he tweeted it out.
How was your critique received?
There's no such thing as intersectionality in liberalism, because that would involve recognizing the existence of power and liberalism is about obscuring the power of social relations
I reject calling those people communist or even marxtist, they strip the theory and analysis of all its social/historical grounding and replace it with abstract economism, that shit ain't marxism, fuckin dumbass Keynesians have a better grasp of social relations than those posers
