      This is funny as hell to me, because my local Trot party is probably like 2/3rds women or at least folks who read more “woman” than anything else. Not that I have a lot to do with Trot nutjobs who’d sooner try to sell me a newspaper than be my comrades, but I’ve seen them at protests and such.

          I use “Mine owners” a lot. It’s great cause it really separates the wheat from the chaff as far as people who just don’t know better and the actual liberals who believe in soft-core fascism.

            There’s an art/science to relating to progressive liberals, and a lot of times I just try to get people to talk about their own observations and thoughts. I’m very much a proponent and practitioner of critical pedagogy.

            But when people come to the meeting I am chairing, in a group I helped organize, and then hypervigilant police every word I use for how it wont relate to their white affluent neighborhood, like even if I am convinced that they are legit there in good faith, it can be really disruptive to say the least.

            Like, I learned leftism from a bunch of grumpy Trot union organizers, i’m a worker who came to this shit, sorry I don’t conform to the public university masters in social sciences dissertation review style guide
