>>1581082Actually no. Dab. (read a book) (also: imagine going into a thread to say "your informed model of events is actually better explained by random chance!" Don't come and disagree with LESS information)
>>1581415Since you say congress I assume you're talking about the US -
I think the crisis also definitely includes the prison slavery and police brutality problems, the specific political disenfranchisement of black people, chicanos and indigenous people, and immigrants (documented and undocumented), as well as the current fascist push to literally dismantle public education as well as any kind of downwardly redistributive government role, while liberalizing (or making more amenable to bosses in general) labor law regarding people with no prior history of strong labor unity (minors, prisoners, undocumented immigrants)
So I heavily agree, and I think the way we will get them to fall left rather than right is to keep them away from identification with the dominant culture in society, with white supremacy and patriarchy. These things are not just fascist (they're usually more mundane), they are the way that could-be radicals make a conservative turn; they get their individual needs met by the dominant in society (the capitalists, the state, the institutions, etc.), and they decide that's good enough and stop supporting new progressive change. This is why intersectionality is part of the solution, and is totally in fitting with communist aims.

(btw intersectionalism is actually specifically against this kind of idea of simple intersections (don't ask me why its called that then…) - for an example, within an intersectional framework, a black woman's oppression is not just a white woman's sexed oppression plus a black man's racial oppression. It's a unique position within society, that's not reducible to abstracted conceptions of "blackness" or "womaneness". Intersectionalism is the concrete, to right-wing idpol's abstract understandings)
TLDR: you stupid monke. You are correct, but you misattribute your critique.
