    ok so to sum it up, you’re saying that not only capitalists, but men in general are also evil.

    well, i guess i disagree. you’re engaging in a pithole of fallacies there. consider:

    class struggles lead to poverty, and poverty leads to angry people. the people lash out against one another, and that creates the social issues. fighting against capitalism means fighting against the problem’s root, not just its symptoms.

      I’ll go easy on you here because your username implies English is not your primary language, but you should perhaps work on your reading comprehension.

      Firstly:

      I did not say that.

      “An annoying subset of leftists has a tendency to dismiss the issues faced by workers who are not able-bodied cishet white men” ≠ “men in general are evil”

      Secondly:

      What fallacies? You didn’t point any out, you just made a weak counterpoint.

      Thirdly:

      fighting against capitalism means fighting against the problem’s root, not just its symptoms.

      Like yeah, as a fact of how intersectionality works, capitalism does make other social injustices even worse, but racism and misogyny have existed since long before capitalism, and will not be fixed by any sort of anticapitalism that doesn’t specifically work to address them.
