(50,254 posts)Such a claim would be absurd.
I simply said that the movements I listed, all of which were essentially part OF the left, had transformative visions of what life could be. They occasionally compromised, but they were all radical in spirit.
And most of the Left aren't straight white men-most leftists are women, many are people of color, many are LGBTQ.
I don't know why anyone would try to set up a dichotomy in which there's a supposedly all-white Left, on one hand, and a large community of historically oppressed communities in which, somehow, everybody is bitterly anti-Left.
That's not reality.
If you are on the Left, you are going to be a committed opponent of all forms of social oppression, just as much as you'd be against economic oppression. That's just part of the value system.
