(10,173 posts)I know they are not democrats. Again I repeat, The reason I shared this was because of their strategy in combating racism and how they engage with whites who find alt right rhetoric appealing at this time. How they've prioritized social justice , and see social justic as the pathway towards change. In their view, things won't change until social justice is at the heart of economic arguments, I tend to agree.
EDIT: Also I'm not as anti-capitalist as they are, I've said often on this site that capitalism needs to be tempered with collectivism - where there's regard for quality of human of life and focus on human flourishing ( these are things which should be the bedrock of any civilization) For too long, vulture capitalism was seen as the key to liberty - growth unchecked ( further edit: And while there's collectivism in vulture capitalism, it's aimed at consolidating the power of the predatory capitalist). Where gains are privatized, costs externalized, and where there's the hoarding of profits. I see critiques like this often , even on this site. And everytime we talk about redistributing wealth, it's an attempt to address imbalances due to capitalist enterprise left unchecked.
