The Post-Modern Left imagines a system of 'systemic oppression' so devious that it allows every adult to vote, own property, work any job, move anywhere, marry anyone, learn anything, and say anything.

No I think they just look at the standard of living in socialist countries like Denmark and realize USA has a long way to go to provide for most/all of its diverse population.

Semantics. If you're the one not provided for you would perhaps see it as oppressive. But I suspect your perspective is one of privilege.

Who 'provides' for the 'provided for'? Other people, paying taxes, under coercion of the state. So who is 'oppressed' under that system: those who are coerced, or those who enjoy the benefits of the coercion?

'Providing more equal opportunities' is different from 'providing every resource needed for a comfortable life'.
