I'm not anti-socialist, for the record. I'm just saying socialism won't magically fix racism, sexism, suppression of queer people.

Socialism does not aim to ~fix one thing~ so much as it is INTERTWINED with them. Good socialism addresses these oppressive structures THROUGHOUT its process. It's not an alternative to individual solutions to these, it is a *framework for integrating these struggles*.

"True scotsman" fallacy. Socialism is originally about economics and class struggle. That's the "Hauptwiderspruch". Other inequalities are "Nebenwiderspruch", and somehow magically solved by addressing the "Hauptwiderspruch".

A framework for integrating *all* inequalities, including, but not limited to economic inequality: there's intersectionality.
