    “The bourgeoisie” trying to stir up controversy and divide people? No doubt that seems very far fetched to any serious Communist.

      Yeah, it’s laughable that he thinks contradicting actions by those in power are strange. The whole point is to keep people squabbling amongst themselves about social issues and ignoring the constantly growing class divide going on.

      Both are important, but imo a poor trans person has more in common with a poor redneck than a poor redneck has in common with a rich white business owner. And everyone has more in common with each other than they do with any member of the true 1% (meaning not white landlords of one or two inherited properties, but the people who own organizations like Blackrock).

      Now if only we could get bigots to understand that instead of perpetuating more division between people.

        That’s the right idea I think, but keep in mind that there probably do exist at least a few poor trans redneck business owners.
