I have a half-written effortpost about this but it’s not coherent enough yet. Basically I think that, in the same way capitalism makes it so we can only relate to leftist theory through the lens of consumption and consumer identity, we can only sculpt culture in ways that are fundamentally about competition for attention or liberal morality politics. Would appreciate feedback

    I don't think I understand what you're talking about.

    You appear to be saying that it's not possible to discuss social norms without being offensive to some groups - to me that's one of the main goals of communism.

    Work towards being good to your comrades, don't punch down, don't alienate, it can be done.

      It’s not that it’s not possible ever. It’s that it’s not currently possible. It can be done in small groups who make it their goal and work at it. It’s a beautiful thing. But bringing that to scale and convincing larger groups to adopt those same goals hasn’t been fruitful so far
