I’m guessing they did this because my comment didn’t have the correct positive vibes for them on their post when they’re the moderator.

It’s funny because 196 and almost all of its derivatives are rightfully anti-tankie because tankies promote centrism and conservatism directly harmful to trans and gay rights.

    Unless you’re planning on articulating what it is you’re actually objecting to I can’t really help you make sense of those two statements.

      Marxism being an explicitly a materialist worldview does not mean that it has no real way of comparing cultural qualities.

        Outside of how they relate to material conditions, it doesn’t.

        It can’t help inform your gender identity any more than it can help you decide what toppings to put on your pizza. Attributing that kind of cultural expression to an ideology that has nothing to say about it isn’t just dumb, it’s fascistic.

          What part of culture can’t be related to material conditions, again? I’m pretty sure that’s the point of materialism.

          I guess basic concepts are too complex to parse. Sorry for overtaxing you.

            Lmao

            You could describe your shits in materialist terms i guess, but that doesn’t make it marxist
