COMRADES
Do you hate identity politics, intersectional feminism, radical social constructionism and other such pseudoscientific nonsense?
Do you believe these trashcans of ideology have infested the left and divert and distract from the one struggle we all share, the class struggle?
Then maybe you will help to try and reclaim a part of the internet for reason and from the idpolers and modern day Lysenkoists who currently dominate it.
I read some of you here came from reddit, specifically /r/fullcommunism. That subreddit has reasonable growth and activity more than most leftist reddits, but along with most leftist reddits is dominated by blank slate intersectional manifold-oppression dogma. They reject class essentialism in favor of their idealist identity politics and they enforce these views with swift permabans for anyone who dares to speak out against it. Marx is turning in his grave.
The thing is, while the mods strongly believe their bullshit, not all of the users do. And there is some grey area in which you can raise concern while claiming to be 100% behind feminism and its necessity for achieving communism, i.e. some sophisticated concern trolling to make the case against their blatant man-hating for instance. I think many lurkers there would agree. You can also downvote idpol-y posts and spread more neutral memes.
Now you're probably thinking that I'm a massive faggot for posting this, and that's k, I may well be. You're also probably thinking that it won't work, that the hardline idpolers will know what's up and tell the mods to ban all dissent, which they might. But they might also just leave. You see, yesterday someone posted this
and a few people complained that it sexually objectified men and should thus be banned in accordance with rule 1. Of course the idpolers were quick to maintain their dogma that men can't be objectified as they are the "oppressors" and accusing the dissidents of being brocialist. One of the triggered hardliners went on to make a post claiming the subreddit had a "gender problem" and was becoming less "inclusive" because people dared to take equal offense at the objectification of men and women. More discussion erupted, mods intervened, bans galore. The thing is, the "coercively assigned male at birth trans woman" who made the post deleted her account after arguing with some of the dissenters. It seems identity politics has made them this fucking thin-skinned, they will just literally leave when exposed to opposing viewpoints. Maybe this could work? Slowly drive out the bigoted idpolers with careful disagreement and devil's-advocating? I know it's a long shot, but I think it's time we start to expand our thought into other leftist boards and try to uncuck the left.
What do you think? Fuck off back to reddit, I know, but aside from that?
