Yeah. I've decided to help Patrece out.
- Communism is totally diff from the social justice movement.
- Communism implies major structural changes that are incompatible with capital economics.
- Communism scared Corporate America in the first half of the 20th century.
- Corporate America then invented identity politics as a distraction from more radical ideas..
- They won't hire a communist, but they will show how enlightened they are by doing social justice things with hiring, policy, etc. They will close a plant in a state to show they dislike the Confederacy, and so forth.
- Historically, the social justice movement is a classic distraction move. The real threat is indeed the terribly bad ideas of communism. But communism has been dead for around 40 years, as an idea.
- What has replaced it is "social justice," which by unspoken rule *never* brings up major communist-scale systemic changes to how capitalism works.
Clear? You hashed together two things whose history is not as tidy as you assume. I know some serious Marxists. To refer to aussenseiter, they hate this con the left has fallen for. HR revolutions? lol. Changes nothing, from a Marxist perspective.
