But this is a great system that the whole world needs to adopt, and if they don't we will make them at gunpoint

Thanks for the detailed and thought-out response, I really appreciate it. My frustrations come purely from the mainstream application of intersectionality which decontextualizes everything for the sake of primacy of racial and social hierarchy, completely ignoring the basic question of why these hierarchies even exist in the first place (presumably because of typical western orthodoxy of "human nature"). I have definitely been rethinking it and seeing its value even in Marxist applications.

I am noticing a lot of similarities with the postbellum American South. They really want to be the Mississippis and Alabamas of the world?

I am begging you liberals to just be familiar with the most basic parts of Marxism

No we have to push ourselves further and further to the right because that's what voters want!!!

The two parties help each other out all the time. The Democrats love when they get called socialists or communists, for example. It helps maintain the illusion of the whole thing (we can't advocate for these social policies, voters don't like socialism or communism so we have to be "reasonable"). I suspect this was all entirely intentional in some way, as it maintains this image of Democrats being "progressive" in some way when they don't actually do jackshit.

I conflated some things. In Nazi Germany, some 250,000 people were murdered on the basis of eugenic psychiatry that became popular in America and resulted in the sterilization of about 60,000 people. Eugenics in Nazi Germany was heavily influenced by the movement in America and many psychiatrists who continue to have major influence over the field were supporters, like Adolf Meyer. I could have sworn I read an article more directly drawing comparisons between the eugenic psychology in early 20th century America to the practice today, but I can't find it so I can't claim a super strong connection there.

You're right, I got some things conflated. Nazi Germany were actually using eugenic ideas pushed first by psychiatry in the US in the early 20th century to mass murder up to 250,000 people. Many of the most prominent psychiatrists in the early 20th century in the US were eugenicists, some who have major legacies to this day. I remember reading something previously that linked these eugenicist ideas to modern psychiatry but I can't find it. I'll edit my post.
