@sim It's basically Trotsky filtered through academics in the 1970s and then filtered again through screechy academics and their screechy TAs, and then regurgitated on Twitter. It's essentially Trotskyism: long march through the institutions, "by any means necessary", democracy as oppressive, families as oppressive, language police. All of it's directly from Trotsky. I did a write-up a while back, it's long so I have cut it down a little but it is still long:

Offensive language is oppressive:

> Abusive language and swearing are a legacy of slavery, humiliation, and disrespect for human dignity—one’s own and that of other people.

Only socialism gives you real democratic equality, wealth redistribution:

> The domination of the proletariat will mean not only democratic equality, free self-government, the transference of the whole burden of taxation to the rich classes, the dissolution of the standing army in the armed people and the abolition of compulsory church imposts, but also recognition of all revolutionary changes (expropriations) in land relationships carried out by the peasants.

Republics and fascist states rely on oppression:

> These two systems: the one parliamentary-democratic, the other fascist, derive their support from different combinations of the oppressed and exploited classes

https://www.marxists.org/archive/trotsky/1931/unions/3-commsyn.htm

Unions are the way to institute communism:

> In capitalist countries, where the Communist Party does not possess any means of coercion, it is obvious that it can give leadership only by Communists being in the trade unions as rank-and-file members or functionaries.

https://www.marxists.org/archive/trotsky/1940/08/american.htm

It's dated and narrow thinking to believe in the American Dream:

> This lack of social thinking has its origin in the country’s whole history – the Far West with the perspective of unlimited possibilities for everyone to become rich, etc. Now all that is gone, but the mind remains in the past.

Freedom must be curtailed for the sake of socialism:

> To be sure, a revolutionary dictatorship means by its very essence strict limitations of freedom. But for that very reason epochs of revolution have never been directly favorable to cultural creation: they have only cleared the arena for it. The dictatorship of the proletariat opens a wider scope to human genius the more it ceases to be a dictatorship. The socialist culture will flourish only in proportion to the dying away of the state.

Taking over or disrupting democratic meetings:

> Send 40 to 50 men to dissolve the meeting. This has tremendous importance. The workers become steeled, fighting elements. They become trumpets. The petty bourgeoisie think these are serious people. Such a success! This has tremendous importance as so much of the populace is blind, backward, oppressed, they can be aroused only by success.

The workers can't understand real socialism:

> This program is a scientific program. It is based on an objective analysis of the objective situation. It cannot be understood by the workers as a whole.

The workers must rule, build parallel organizations, and the only option is socialism:

> there must be a new progressive class which is sufficiently numerous and economically influential in order to impose its will upon society. This class is the proletariat. [⋯] This class must understand its position in society and have its own organizations. That is the condition which is now lacking from the historic point of view. Socially it is not only possible but an absolute necessity in the sense that it is either socialism or barbarism.

Self-explanatory:

> Democracy is only the rule of big bosses. We must understand well what Lundberg showed in his book, that 60 families govern the United States.

Housework is oppressive, especially to women:

> We need more socialist economic forms. Only under such conditions can we free the family from the functions and cares that now oppress and disintegrate it. Washing must be done by a public laundry, catering by a public restaurant, sewing by a public workshop. Children must be educated by good public teachers who have a real vocation for the work. Then the bond between husband and wife would be freed from everything external and accidental, and the one would cease to absorb the life of the other. Genuine equality would at last be established.

https://www.marxists.org/archive/trotsky/women/life/23_07_11.htm

Totalizing philosophy:

> We need years and decades of economic growth and culture to banish Rasteryaevism from its last refuge – individual and family life – recreating it from top to bottom in the spirit of collectivism.

https://www.marxists.org/archive/trotsky/1936/whitherfrance/ch00.htm

It's socialism or fascism, there is no reforming the system:

> Under conditions of capitalist decline there is no longer any place for a party of democratic reforms and “peaceful” progress.

> To approach the peasants and the petty bourgeoisie of the cities, to draw them to our side, is the necessary condition of the success of the struggle against Fascism, not to speak of the conquest of power. Only the problem must be correctly posed, and for that it is necessary to understand clearly the nature of the “middle classes”. Nothing is more dangerous in politics, especially in a critical period, than to repeat general formulas without examining their social content.
