progressives lowkey & not so lowkey hate old school socialists like Trotskyists because those are committed to the liberation of the working class, not to eradication of masculinity and/or whiteness, which for every practical purpose in contemporary politics makes them right-wing

doesn't seem true here in the uk at least, with corbyn. maybe in the us? could point to people like ocasio-cortez but don't know enough, could be she's the exception that proves the rule. either way though, casual reference to "eradication of whiteness" seems in poor taste

they try it with corbyn but the uk isn't as compromised as the us so it doesn't seem to stick much. the beauty of o-c's case should be obvious lol yes i'm sure speaking of it other than in tones of approval is not the done thing

speaking as a progressive in the uk i haven't seen it. the vast majority of opposition to corbyn comes from the blairites, the centre-left. the greens don't like him but they're *more* socialist. idk how to read white genocide jokes at a time when white supremacy is ascendant?

does sound like things are different. i remember being surprised to learn how different your "libertarians" are. would still question crediting the threat of that crowd and benefiting the seemingly more pressing threat but not my business i guess. i can understand the frustration
