Like last year they kept the rainbow flag profile pics up for the entire year. Now they aren’t doing it because they are fearful of some lumpenproletariat boycott. Reactionary workers are worse than pro-lgbt bourgeoisie. I’m gonna side with whoever respects the rights of trans people to literally exist and if neither are gonna do that then fuck both of them!

    “handled ASAP”

    What do you mean by this specifically? Because until you turn off the reactionary font of capital pouring in brain-scrambling ideology and creating conditions of alienation, this is attempting to bail out the titanic with a spoon. Even if some portion of the proletariat hold reactionary worldviews, there’s nothing for us to do about it still strategically except target the reactionary source (capital). Attempting to “handle” them individually with violence a la carte, in class collaboration with the bourgies, is an insane thing to propose on a communist site and should be called out for the reactionary class collaborationism it is

      I don’t propose a solution, I just think it’s just a little rash to go straight for capital while we’re still fielding attacks from half of the proletariat too. A solution might look like some kind of rainbow-coalition style organizing to recapture some of the reactionary proles, but I have no idea. One thing I’m very sure of though is that letting this turn into a violent inter-proletarian civil war is about one of the worst possible outcomes, because the bad guys will win, and very quickly

        Agreed, and a surefire way to that happening is having half of the proletariat fighting on behalf of “good” corporations and allowing corporations to control the political organizing of a bunch of the proletariat, causing ideological confusion and chaos

          if the half of the proletariat fighting on behalf of “good” corporations you’re talking about is the liberals, I wouldn’t worry too much, they won’t fight for anything besides a seat at the brunch table. The only fighting is going to come from the evangelical fundamentalist side.
