The Oppressor vs. Oppressed worldview applied to social issues instead of economic issues is still fucking communism dumbass. It isn't only communism when applied to class, and all of a sudden not communism when applied to race, gender or sexual orientation. It's the same shit dude, and the results are just as bad if not worse when applied to social issues as when applied to economic issues.
Insisting that throwing a incorrect label around is accurate, just because it's so damn convenient to not have to create a new bogyman, does not make it so. Communism and Marxism is about money, and ownership of the means of production. Period. So you're at best being lazy, and worst being deliberately misleading, if you want to call someone who advocates for an oppressed class a Marxist or Communist. They're not. Sure, sometimes they want to spend other people's money, but do not want to stop those people from owning their businesses. It's like the other tradition of calling a kleptocracy Capitalism, because its not Communism. It's not, and doing so muddies the waters in ways certain people like and take advantage of, and is easier than really describing it.
It still amazes me that people who want equal treatment and rights for all citizens are called Commies. The Civil Rights Movement to end the awful Jim Crow system of oppression was labeled Commies. That's disgusting, and reveals just who you are, if you do so.
We are only accustomed to dealing with like twenty online personas at a time so when we only have about ten people some people have to be strawmanned in order to advance our same relative go nowhere nonsense positions. -TheReal_ND
