> is it possible to be a socialist without all the faggot shit that's basically what "nazi" as a slur refers to in current year. the problem with the modern left is that the entire way in which they view the world is flawed. for example there is this tendency on the left to categories issues, policies etc as either "economic" or "social". this is nonsense. let's take casual sex as an example. it's always presented by the left as a "social issue", entirely orthogonal to economics. but if people need to compete for sex then being better off than others becomes a survival necessity. attractiveness is based on comparison, so it's impossible for everyone to be attractive simultaneously. there *must* be a hierarchy. since being wealthier than others makes you more attractive, and wealth is more malleable than genetics, sexual competition incentivizes people to accumulate wealth. because attractiveness is all about comparison, how much people need to accumulate isn't fixed. you need more than me and i need more than you. from this contradiction emerges the rat-race economy. this is clearly an economic phenomenon, but it's all a consequence of sexual liberalism, which we were told is a "social issue". there are countless examples of this. the proliferation of single parenthood is presented as a "social issue", but single parents consume twice as much housing compared to intact families, and if demand for housing doubles then house prices will increase to reflect that. the proliferation of transgenderism is presented as a "social issue", but if more people become psychologically dependent upon pharmaceuticals and surgeries then this means massive profits for those industries. etc, etc. when leftists split issues into "social" and "economic", what they are actually doing is unintentionally admitting their ignorance. when a leftist calls something a "social issue", they are just admitting that they don't understand the economic consequences.
