I don't know if this thread will get deleted or not but I don't understand Identity politics. Why can't we just say that we're all united against the capitalist class and that we accept and help in the same time people that are diffrent because of their identity (trans, gay, black…)
Why do some Communist parties reject recognizing trans people ? Can't we just not care as long as their against the capitalist class ?
Sorry if I asked a stoopid question.

Because what will happen is we join them on a gay march, get waterboarded, shot, etc for their right to not be oppressed, only for them to gain the right under a capitalist system at which point they stop fighting against the system, contempt with their crumbs, and put on military uniform to kill people who were previously their allies.
There is no point in fighting any single struggle that isn't socialism, if the Mexicans or gays or whites or blacks get killed good no one should give a shit because it's not a socialist problem.
That said you're not banned from helping them out or anything I help out a few black nationalist groups, they're good people, but don't bother killing yourself or openly advocate for them as a main issue even in times of outright genocide, socialism first and foremost. History has told us many times over that if you help them first before you help socialism they'll just become a part of the capitalist fascist system and turn on you. Don't.

Oh an easy tl;dr for this is basically that they'll help themselves before they help socialism.

I dunno why are gays and trannies considered NOT mentally ill but people with depression, autism and schizophrenia are? Constructivism leads down a path of anything can be used to justify anything else
Asher Murphy
all politics is identity politics

But it's literally not in multiple cases. Specifically economics.
