Thank you, Michael, very well said. Being new to Marxism, I wondered how exactly trans rights “fit” into Marxist theory, or if Marxism can even address trans rights at all (from what I know so far, it seems principally concerned with the more narrow topic of the exploitation of one class’s labor by another class). However, what drew me to Marxism in the first place was the impression that, as you have so eloquently expressed here, “it is a science for opposing all forms of oppression.” Whether or not other Marxists agree with this description, such a philosophy is exactly what I am seeking. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
