The whole thing about ancient statuary being gaudily painted really trips me out. It kinda makes me wonder what other impressions we have of historical cultures that are completely wrong.
Why do intersectionality idpozzers tend to oppose capitalism...

the paint wore away within the timeframe of antiquity. there are ancient references to pure white translucent marble of the writers favorite statues. it wasnt entirely one way or the other.

I'd argue almost all of them are. For example gender prejudices are based on positions in a patriarchal property-based household.
Are you telling me with a straight face that there were no material conditions underlying black kids self-segregating? It a bit more complex than someone being poorer or richer in the now. Take a closer look at any minority group anywhere and you'll see there are specific material and economic conditions underpinning their clustering. They band together because of traditional/religious familial or organizational forms, to resist economic pressure from a stronger group, etc., not because they have an innate spiritual link with people of the same color. Black kids were a reflection of their parents who were still feeling the effects of slavery and segregation. The tendency wouldn't be gone overnight under socialism but it surely would dwindle.
Even now religion is pretty much on life support in the West, propped up by private schools, scams, capital funding, isolated religious communities and such. Remove the underlying material conditions beneath this and religion will become an odd hobby.
Even Soviet workers did not spend several hours a day at committees, and technology and organization progress. In future socialism you could make workplace decisions from your phone in a matter of minutes. Furthermore, under the socialist mode of production work hours would be fewer, there would be significantly less if any incentive to dick over your fellow prole - where would this enmity arise from?
I particularly do not understand this part:
So are we talking about developed socialism (where the commodity-form is abolished and some fashion of advanced labour voucher system is in place), or some kinda barracks communism where a committee decides everyday who gets commodities and who cleans the shitter for free?

A superficial obsession with Greek statues is the surest way to tell you've come across a philistinic brainlet with embarrassingly pleb tastes in every department and absolutely no knowledge of art history.

Are you telling me under communism I will not have to interact with baboons?
Xavier Clark
Under socialism baboonery will be abolished, just for you.
Chase Ross
You can't abolish baboonery! It's baked into the baboon!

Do you really think class determines the treatment of transgender people? Homosexuals? With women in particular, economic issues permeate gendered relations but I really do not believe they define them. Some women hate men for reasons basically orthogonal to whatever economic advantages men retain, and men hate women for other reasons which are basically orthogonal to economic relations. When a gay guy hates women because he's "never heard one say something profound", or when a woman hates men because "they always talk over you", that's not really going to change under socialism.
Of course not. The cause and effect here is blurred though.
This is a grossly uncharitable reading of what I wrote.
That's certainly possible. However, assuming a revolutionary communist system would, in its infancy, be dominated by discussion about race, race relations could worsen dramatically. If you made everybody listen to keynote speakers for African American studies you wouldn't be healing America's racial trauma, you would be fostering resentment and aggravating nonsynthesizing dialectics. Most people cannot negotiate a middle ground to the race issue between "white racists" and "black dysfunction".
I suppose I mostly agree, at least for a couple centuries. It was capitalism that killed Christianity.
Most Soviet workers were not deciding all of their roles and responsibilities democratically.
People try to socially elevate/differentiate themselves. Some people are less likable and will be shunned or even ostracized.
I meant in a sort of stateless direct democracy mode of social organization.

Because it is hip in their social circles. Likely they don't quite understand what it is all about, or they would drop their identarianism.
Do you have these biases? Why do you assume others would have them then? If you actually look at the numbers, at least in the US, liberal morality is mainstream. It's relatively recent, but there has been a sea change in what is the norm. It is what is prompting panic in the tradcaths and their ilk.
