Opinion on the frequency of the term "Marxist" nowadays

[PSOL]

While I agree that it’s pretty much meaning things conservatives don’t like, I can get why it’s overused as a shibboleth. The people that use it don’t care about definitions that don’t relate to them, and they see anything that is perceived to threaten their status and/or wealth in society as a threat. So no matter how stretched out, or untrue honestly, it may be it doesn’t matter. A “Marxist” thing is something that threatens them.

That said, I don’t know how effective that is over labeling people SJWs for the younger edgelords. Saying everything is Marxist

A) shows how much of a boomer you are
B) exposes your insane privileges and position in class, or how you perceive yourself

Compared to SJW which is more younger and more spread out I think. But different times and circumstances call for using past techniques and mental deflection I suppose.

I believe a co-founder of BLM endorsed Elizabeth Warren for President over Sanders, so I’m not sure how strong that label is.

Anyway, most BLM organizers are angsty middle class liberals tired of the way things are, with like the majority of supporters being disaffected African Americans also tired of the state, coming in urban working class varieties or Church groups. There’s also Black Liberation and socialist groups on the ground, but they’re smaller than the other groups in numbers and recognition.

The people in Portland aren’t from an irrelevant tendency of Anarchism but disaffected people angry of their living standards dropping due to the Trump Administration. I mean, no doubt there’s a few insurrectionary anarchists using black bloc tactics in the PNW since the 90s, but I think the old guard is drowned off by people that are currently now angry at their livelihoods being lost and their homes invaded by the newly created American gendarmerie called the DHS officially.

Scott said it best, just go “ok boomer” and leave it at that.
