"There's no link between CRT and Marxism."

"The Old Left wasn't about pushing cultural degen-"

Rühle also proclaimed that "for the first time, the conditions are given for the sexual community to become a union of free people who are neither economically nor spiritually dependent on one another... free love is completed in free marriage."

Not shown here, but the Weimar Republic-era SPD (which was still openly Marxist) actively supported the decriminalization of sodomy and abortion by repealing Paragraphs 175 and 218 of the German penal code respectively.

Engels called the monogamous family "[a] victory of private property over primitive, natural communal property," and "the subjugation of one sex by the other; it announces a struggle between the sexes unknown throughout the whole previous prehistoric period."

Now onto race, the Comintern's resolutions on the Negro Question in the United States outright say "oppressed nation" when referring to American Negroes, this is all orthodox Marxism.

And of course, there's the full endorsement of Black nationalism in the American South by the CPUSA that Seydlitz/Fleur mentioned.

"Our party press was filled with indignation over the fact that Germany’s foes should drive black men and barbarians, Negroes, Sikhs and Maoris into the war. Yet [they] play a role... that is approximately identical with that played by the proletariat in the European states."

"One difference there is between the two. A generation ago, Maori negroes were still cannibals and not students of Marxist philosophy." — Rosa Luxemburg, Junius Pamphlet, Ch 4 (1915).

The objetive of this thread is to once again drill in the point that the residual Old Left nostalgia amongst "our side" is of course abject nonsense, a kind of nostalgic case of "the worse vindicating the bad." The left-wing parties have never been such "friends."

What I have shown in this thread isn't an exhaustive compilation, I mostly drew from archived Carlsbad tweets.

For further reading, I can only recommend his excellent article which convincingly argues that the New Left didn't represent a radical disjunction from the Old, but that the social radicalism and identitarianism were all present as seeds in the Old Left:

I did quote excerpts from that article in this thread's section about the CPUSA's support for Black nationalism.

Anyways, feel free to share this thread to everyone telling you that the woke aren't Marxists.
