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

Odds are, if we're being brutally honest here, none of us on the left, regardless of our faction, are gonna hold any significant power in our lifetimes anyway.

    I would consider myself closer ideologically to intersectional lib than a class reductionist communist, so yes it does matter.

        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.

      intersectional lib

      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

      class reductionist communist

      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
