I can excuse transphobia and covid denial but I draw the line at anti-communism, and criticism of Xi is racist

Points well taken but can we stop conflating leftism with social issues such as queer acceptance please? Thats at best a tangential piece of the ideology. I want class war not culture war.

Absolutely fucking not.

Edit: the only people who have downvoted this comment have argued to seperate leftism from the things that it champions.

People who prefer to argue human rights open the door to discuss them. Leftism is the tacit acceptance of human rights so there’s no place for culture war. There’s no discussion possible because they are inalienable rights, be it LGBTQ, be it BIPOC, whatever is your minority du jour, human rights are not debatable. The only acceptable response to denial of human rights is violence, not discourse. In that sense, those arguing about inalienable human rights are part of the problem. Cowbee is right in his own special way. We need class war, not culture war. 
Cowbee is a fucknugget tankie who only hits the mark if it’s several km wide.
