@Baaahphomette@gothichijabi Socialism without feminism is as useless as feminism without socialism. If your movement isn't intersectional, it will fail. The leading point of failure among socialist movements is an inability not to be weird about women and gays. Shout out to Lenin, the ally of all time.
@Baaahphomette@gothichijabi Distrust is a good modus operandi. Even the most aspirational leftist revolutionary should be treated as a transactional relationship. If it's not actually helping me and my community then what good is it really?
@Baaahphomette@gothichijabi Liberals also see suffering as "unfortunately natural." You are correct. Liberation is the only path forward, all other options inevitably devolve into fascism because they preclude liberation. Liberals are fascists who just don't know it yet.
@Baaahphomette@gothichijabi I am not excusing leftist who indulge in such behavior, but noncritical exploitation of female pain is a general political tool. Women's lib is used as justification for killing schoolgirls in Iran & rape stories from October 7 are used to justify the genocide of Palestinians.
