The law has fuck-all to do with it.

1. Sorry but the economic left got backstabed to much to by the indentitarians for there to be any trust left. Class struggle cannot be in competition for political energy, and that is what this is about. As far as Race goes that doesn't exist biologically, to state otherwise is racist. You can point out that there are people with different ethnic features, skin,tone etc, and that discrimination based on this should be abolished. the concept of race basically is economic, because it was introduced by the slave trade to justify treating some people as property, much like cattle. There still are consequence from the era of slavery today and some vestiges remain that have to be abolished. But reifying the race category that got invented by the slavers into an identity is counter productive, it solidifies the wedge where by different race identity groups can be played against each other against their own economic interests. As far sex related politics goes, that has degenerated into a culture war and now there are no more demands for equality and abolishment of discrimination that remain, instead there are ingroup outgroup tribal hostilities, where asserting the privilege of one group over another has become the goal.
2. Capitalism basically is increasingly less viable, it can't really commodify information because the cost of reproduction of information is zero, what has taken the place is an inversion where you are the commodity, and the information about you is the leach to keep it that way. There are other reasons, like for example capitalism cannot reckon with the limitations of the biosphere, you can't sell a sustainable economy on the market because the costs of all the damage got externalised, The fossil fuel companies have stated publicly that they will protect profit against all reason, they made it clear they can only be defeated. Given that currently we see rearmament and increasing tensions it might be that a capitalist crisis will drive the system into WW3. On a more theoretical level, we want to abolish money market schemes, because they inevitably produce the distribution of wealth and income you see today it might be possible to counter act this temporarily, but not in the long run. We will however support all measures that improve the conditions of the working class. But in the end the only option is to plan the economy according material reality. Consider that there were somewhat socially responsible welfare mixed systems and capitalists have been seeking to destroy every democratic right and every economic justice gain, from the day they were introduced. To keep this possibility open seem like a case of Stockholm syndrome.

Because these problems can only be fixed by fixing the material conditions of society. It's Like complaining about getting pissed on then fighting about who has the lest amount on them instead of getting out of the piss hole and then cleaning yourself because people are gonna keep pissing on you if you lay there arguing. These issues almost all of them are caused by Capitalism if you eliminate Capitalism many of these problems will go especially with an actual Socialist government who can address these issues unlike a Capitalist state where these issues are mostly left to fester/hardly addressed. I can't even count the amount of Marxist groups iv'e seen collapse from infighting due to stupid shit or well read and smart comrades (Cockshot) have all their ideas and theory thrown out because trans issue #23.
Try the otherway around. Thousands if not millions of working class individuals are being turned/alienated away by the small minority of actually insane sjw's. Somehow the idea of implementing Socialism got stuck behind a bunch of social issues and to even think of putting class issues above gender issues is somehow "alienating" when the stereotype of a left winger is a rabid blue haired trans person who wants more female CEO's and Black Cops before abolishing CEO's and Cops.
Because Socialism and Communism are actually more Democratic and involve the Proletariat as a whole much more, what we have is a false illusion of freedom and democracy.
What are non transferable labor vouches for 500? Who even started this stupid idea of Socialism/Communism making everyone exactly equal instead of making the playing field actually fair.

Read the entire section.
As lenin clearly states, social equality requires two things;
The abolition of legal class
The abolition of production class
Both are required for social equality. We are half way there.
Thomas Evans
Well, put it this way. No matter how much the identity crowd scream or campaign to have people who disagree with them socially destroyed on Twitter, neo-liberal elites like Macron look on and laugh; and ultimately they keep their positions.
I consider it a fucking joke if anyone who considers themselves a Leftist, condones the existence of the European Union. Instead of a national bourgeoise engaging in resource extraction and constantly stealing from the poor, now you've got this giant, conglomerated oligarchy of them doing it on an international level; with less accountability and more concentration of power than ever before.
But please, let's keep arguing about the fact that there are seperate icons for males and females on toilet doors; because as we all know, those are the *really* important issues.

Shitty b8 I'm sure but
Divisive rhetoric within our ranks is counter revolutionary. After the revolution we can discuss these issues further and propose solutions (I think with proper education prejudice can be eradicated in 1-2 generations.) But until the revolution succeeds, divisive rhetoric is shooting ourselves in the foot.
