Am I crazy or have we really turned tail and ran from the notion that oppression is death by a thousand cuts, and all the little things that oppression is made of matter, and all the little things that liberation will be made of matter?
(And to be fair, in my limited experience the DSA has not retreated from this position. They don't execute it perfectly but no one does.)

But that doesn't mean culture change is a) severable from material conditions, b) not important, or c) not a key part of actually achieving justice in the real ass world.
