On including Terfs in our left wing revolutions:

We don't change people's minds on issues they get wrong by us excluding them where they are right.

I have friends who have different views than me on fiscal issues, but we agree on cultural issues. They are more likely than not to consider my views on one issue because they have had conversations where we have agreed on other issues

We disagree with their TERF views on trans issues? Maybe they would consider our T.R.A views if they got the opportunity to respect our views on other issues

Where is the line for anti Terf leftists, where people aren't supposed to be part of their club anymore? Just trans? What about the super real problem of anti-Semitism on the left? The environment? Drugs? And how far off from such purity test leftists views on those things do they have to be?

The line is located somewhere, but I would say that a diplomatic approach where we can earn the trust to contradict someone when they are wrong is usually a better route to take

I agree having dialogue with TERFs is useful but if their are like Trans people in the spaces then that could be risky. Politics isn't a game

My issue with Terfism is they advocate for control over trans peoples body by the state (we leftists are anti statist) and the ruling class. Terfs also waste resources trying to turn us anti capitalists against each other

Unfortunately a lot of terfs are socialists ,marxists and communists. I get what people are trying to say when they say TERF’s aren’t socialists ,marxists and communists., but we need to grapple with the fact that there are some people in the socialists ,marxists and communists.camp that hold these views and that they aren’t purely an external enemy.

But terf views do distract us from the fight against capitalism and they waste our resources trying to turn us on each other. I don’t think this really justifies the fact that they might have once said they wanted a revolution or whatever

Any type of ill will/hostility (like the terf's anti trans views) is meant to distract the Workers from the exploitation of the Bourgeoisie

How? Yeah, you may not like them and they should be called out but if someone advocates for the abolition of private property and seizing the means of production, they’re without a doubt leftist. Socialism is a philosophical and political movement, not a club.

(from  Wikipedia ): "Despite their differences, Bizarro and Superman have teamed up on occasion. One notable example happened in Superman #379, when a strange creature appeared to be devouring Bizarros. Fearing he would end up alone Bizarro tried to steal Superman's duplicator ray. Superman convinced Bizarro he would be better off trying to stop the monster before making any more Bizarros.  The creature eventually devoured Bizarro, but Superman soon figured out that the creature was not trying to kill the Bizarros, but using their combined strength to defeat another creature which was trying to destroy htraE. The first creature was created as part of a plan developed by none other than the Bizarro Lex Luthor, who Bizarro referred to as a "punk hero." "In the imaginary story, Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?, which served as an ending to Silver Age Superman continuity, Bizarro #1 (the original Bizarro and the world's leader/greatest hero),

Saying that Joe Biden is better choice for the left wing than DJT instead of saying they are equally bad choices for the left wing, is excessive centrism and condemnable  Republicans take 10 steps backwards, Democrats take 1 step forward. Liberal 2.0ers call that progress. Leftists like me call it a f*cking disgrace. A lot of things that the Democrats campaign on and take credit for, were by and large grassroots campaigns by progressive groups. For example, the DNC really fought a lot of state-wide decriminalization attempts, that's why the first legalized states had to use voter referendums. Then you got issues like abortion and gay marriage, which were undone by the courts and NEVER codified into law by the Democrats, despite having many opportunities to do so. The DNC are NOT allies to us leftists, they are dangerous. Perhaps the Democrats are more dangerous than the GOP, since the Democrats take up the space of a left party, while they ignore grassroots leftist organizing and g

from here There is a practical component to all of this. The question of humanism vs antihumanism is the question upon which the debate between liberal feminism and nihilist gender abolitionism will be based. The liberal feminist says “I am a woman” and by that means that they are spiritually, ontologically, metaphysically, genetically, or any other modes of “essentially” a woman. The gender nihilist says “I am a woman” and means that they are located within a certain position in a matrix of power which constitutes them as such. The liberal feminist is not aware of the ways power creates gender, and thus clings to gender as a means of legitimizing themselves in the eyes of power. They rely on trying to use various systems of knowledge (genetic sciences, metaphysical claims about the soul, kantian ontology) in order to prove to power they can operate within it. The gender nihilist, the gender abolitionist, looks at the system of gender itself and see’s the violence at its core. We say n
