  • This is immensely helpful, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain this.

    If you don't mind me asking, I've heard people say sex is a spectrum and what you described kinda sounds like that to me, why do you say sex is a meaningless term?

    Sex as a spectrum is easier for me to grasp than the idea that biological sex just doesn't exist at all.

  • I'm that well meaning person who doesn't understand very well. :)

    Do you mean that sex and gender are not the same thing but they are interconnected in our lived experience?

  • Thank you, I removed that mention. In the UK the discussion is mainly about excluding trans women from women-only spaces so that was on my mind, but of course it's possible to stop menstruating.

    I didn't mean to say that "sex should not be conflated with gender" should be our primary argument, just that reading that statement as supporting gender-critical views is ludicrous because gender-critical means exactly opposite.

  • How was your trip? Are protests visibly affecting regular life, infrastructure, transport?

  • Thank you for this.

  • Thank you comrade.

  • Thank you! Do you know what the protests are even supposed to be about? All I could find was "anti-corruption" which is vague as shit and reminds me of Navalny who somehow fought "corruption" by calling to exterminate immigrants like cockroaches...

  • Yeah it does look this way, thank you very much comrade.

  • CPGB-ML are so, so much worse than TERFs. CPB (and WPUK they keep supporting) are TERFs.

    CPGB-ML are against any and all "LGBT ideology" and they will expell members for it. They are against all "identity politics" with very narrow exceptions for women's rights and anti-racism.

    I can't find it now but there was a tweet on their official account comparing gay rights to guide dogs for the blind in an attempt to drive home just how frivolous gay rights are, arguing those are not class issues but special group interests - and alienating everyone who cares about either queer liberation or disability justice in one fell swoop.

    They are not just tailist, they are full on right-deviationists (patsocs, nazbols, Strasserists, Duginists, etc), and I will die on this hill. They also collaborate with US patsocs and promote them.

  • Nazbols / patsocs pretend to be Marxist-Leninists and there are always some people around ML spaces who sympathise with them. There's nobody here who thinks NYT present the correct Marxist-Leninist line.

    If this was posted as "Inteview with Joti Brar the patsoc TERF" I wouldn't report it, alas it's posted as:

    Joti Brar of CPGB-ML is the daughter of the late Harpal Brar.

    “Neutrality Studies” is some Swiss nonsense, but at least they’ll listen to communists and anti-imperialists.

  • I could say all those things about the BBC, the Guardian, etc, and yet there's no rule against posting them. I already explained why I think right deviationists in particular are banned, I might be wrong, I didn't wright those rules this is just how I understand them. This is also what makes sense to me, I think banning New York Times is counterproductive but banning Haz is not.

  • I wonder if you didn’t know this or if you are intentionally minimizing this.

    Are you for real? Lol fuck right off

  • There are many people speaking against russophobia and warmongering, we don't need to post the ones who also speak against "the gays".

    When writing the effort post above I skimmed over that RATWM article again, and this stood out to me: "considering the people most impacted by US imperialism and imperialist war have been organizing against it long before these Mises people came along, why haven’t I seen most of these white Latte Leftists engaged in organizing with us? I mean, Black, queer, trans, disabled, Global South, African people will certainly all die should there be a nuclear war"

    There are better voices to lift out of obscurity than Joti's.

  • CPGB-ML are right deviationists so I'll keep reporting them for breaking the rule "no right deviationists". Joti is a prominent "socially conservative" figure on the British "left", posting an interview with her is no different to posting an interview with Hinkle.

    From MoreTankieChapo to GenZedong to Lemmygrad there is a cycle of nazbols / patsocs / whatever you wanna call them swarming the space looking to normalise their ideas, getting pushed back, and quieting down for a bit until the next cycle, and I think this is why there's a rule specifically disallowing this content.

    I'm not sure why you want to report Al Jazeera, there is no rule against posting from mainstream media.

  • No. You could as well promote any US patsoc when they stick to the “right topic”. Or any fascist for that matter, they always appropriate some correct leftists stances. Communist spaces shouldn’t platform them even when they parrot the correct line.
