@izarella @Moon The communist bit is that most of their issues come from capitalism, but attacking each issue one by one is bound to fail. Capitalism encourages competition in every aspect of life, and eventually people come to hate those around them because they want to succeed. It encourages egoism and separating into tribes to fight each other. And it's a lot easier to make tribes based on visible things: race, sexuality, sex.The end result of the woke left is just symbolic victories. Gay marriage is accepted, now gay couples can drown in mortgage together. Too many white cops killed black people, so we need more black cops killing black people. Women want the choice to work, so now they too get to slave away at minimum wage.If everybody just sat down and said "x many people in this city need food. Let's get them food." or "y many people in this city can't afford rent. Let's get them housing", you would save *so many people* from this cycle of "this is the fault of <group I'm not in>". People not struggling to survive are much more receptive to social issues *after* you help them not need to fight to survive every day!
