These 'x issues are dividing the working class' lines is just trickle-down economics with race/ gender/ orientation etc.

Saying "leave if you don't like your country's imperialism" is no different from saying "anyone who are not as racist as me should go kill themselves".

The phenomenom of 'using queer rights to make your crimes against humanity look pretty' is called pinkwashing if anyone needs a short word to describe it in future

Y'know some people claim that Russia recently declaring all LGBT groups as terrorist organisations is because the LGBT support groups are all CIA plants.
This is not a justification for Russia obviously, whether or not the CIA plant thing is true persecuting your own country's queer community is always wrong. I just find it interesting that people have no problem condemning Russia and pointing out that this is a bullshit justification for homophobia but with Israel calling into question the morality of "hamas allegedly hides among civilians so killing Palestinian civilians is justified" will have people compare you to Hitler.

For Cuba and South America there is Tropico and for USSR there is Workers and Resources. What would be the simulation game for Laos/ Vietnam/ China/ North Korea/ East Germany/ other socialist projects?

They are really acting like blahaj users now aren't they? "It's okay to be bigoted to the other party if their politics is more radical than yours." In this case replace transphobia with ableism and behind-screen psychoanalysing. I also remember one blahaj mod who, after one of you guys said that ableist mods should be booted, said that booting bigoted mods makes you a tankie.

"Ableism and smuglord attitude is bad" is sectarianism?

Is it inaccurate to say that these types of people are just the """left""" wing version of stupidpol/ class reductionism:

Class reductionists (assuming they are not just plants) say we need to be lenient on the working class bigotry to not alienate them and that women, lgbtq and minorities are just a 'distraction' for the working class. What they ignore is that 'distraction' does not mean ignorable. Even if you don't give a rat's ass about minorities you still have to get your own neo-nazi base to stop using minorities as punching bags, if only for them to not be distracted. The result is that their new nazi base pulls them right, class reductionists fail to make any good progress and minorities get driven away and back to liberal idealogies due to those being 'safer' to them in the short term, a behaviour that capitalists are happy to exploit.

Liberals insists that socialists/ communists etc. should join democrats and anticommunists in order to make 'progress' or push democrats left later on. However they condemn all attempts at trying to get democrats to something decent. What is actually happening is that democrats are pushing them right (as shown by them victim-blaming disappointed arabs and accusing anti-genocide trans folk of lying about their queerness) and their more mask-off reactionary and condescending attitude pushes people away from them.

Tldr liberals and class reductionists claim to push the reactionaries they coddle left but don't actually do it and as such said reactionaries push them even further right.
