Yeah Ive found many of the old mainstay groups like CPGB are using transphobia to bridge the gap with the "working class". That the "culture war" needs to be stopped. Which is bullshit. Im not isolating our Marginalized comrades to gain bigot support.
The support of one marginalized comrade is more worth than the support of a dozen bigots. They are more dependable, more dedicated, more personally invested, and more acutely aware of the realities of oppression under capitalism.
The more backwards sections of the proletariat will eventually be swept along by the revolution but they cannot serve as its vanguard as they are too vacillating and easily bribed into class treason with concessions and privileges.
In the initial phases of gathering our forces and building the politically disciplined organizations of the vanguard the task is not to indiscriminately amass numbers but to build a solid core of the most advanced section of the proletariat.
Without this highly disciplined, dedicated and well organized core there is nothing for the masses to coalesce around. You end up with a spontaneous movement with no clear direction nor staying power, easily dissipated or hijacked by liberals.
We have seen this phenomenon clearly time and time again. Black Lives Matter was the most recent and perfect example of this. Whereas all historically successful revolutions, from Russia to China, Vietnam to Cuba followed the vanguard model.
P.S. To any comrades who haven't yet done so, please go read Lenin's "What Is To Be Done?".
