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.

You know very well we all can't say anything (and many can't vote, own property, etc.).
Who's not allowed to vote, beyond convicts? Who can't own property? Who's not allowed to communicate? I really don't understand what specifics you're talking about.

Men who don't sign up for selective service can't vote, work a many jobs, or get any government assistance. The end of redlining is relatively recent, and discriminatory practices persist. Also, convicts should have rights, but that's a different argument.

So, a selective service system where only males have to register is an example of the systemic oppression ... of men? I guess that's why nobody in social justice activism ever mentions it.

You do realize that libertarian religion you espouse is against democracy, because it considers people to stupid to vote for the "correct" things. The libertarian ideal is nothing more than US in the 19th century where only landed gentry could vote.
