I agree with the limited analysis that the workers political currents and individuals should oppose imperialist military usage against many nations of peoples still under capitalist rule and exploitation.
However, why I state this is "limited" because it seems to not take into effect that the majority of workers are women and being super exploited and under bondage to both patriarchal and misogynist religious faith bigots whom want not to have an end to feudal conditions with women kept in added servitude to be under males whom want to keep those conditions. Many of these same religious faith haters want to keep sexual identity and rights denied to Gay and Lesbian People. So what should those whom seek a better world and not just an end to capitalism and the destruction of our planet's environment - be for liberating the majority? In China the end to women foot binding resulted but still today few women in leadership positions. That is especially true of Lesbians whom do not need men to rule over them. In Iran the choice for Gay males is surgery to change their gender or be executed. Should these groups deserve mention and their status and oppression be addressed and recognized? Including support their organizing around Is the answer as the social democrats in the world to not recognize racism as important in both dividing workers and to continue oppression and denial of their humanity, as part of colonialism? Similar to how those workers and poor oppressed in many nations with homophobic governments and forces that also need to be opposed. When the U. S. attacked and invaded Iraq in 2003, some left political currents denied any Gay and Lesbian speakers opposed to that war from speaking at rallies, while welcoming misogynistic and homophobic groups they courted for support. In 2026, racism long finally considered a major obstacle in the 20th Century, to creating needed unity of workers and oppressed to end capitalist and imperialist rule. But what about women and Gay People, I only hear silence - and that is what only seems stated and offered, to "not offend religious faith haters, to attract those large numbers of people "whom only matter" and ignore those whom hate with feudal backward mindset beliefs. The world has changed since the 19th Century with ideas and movements that actively seek a far different world than just whom the leaders are and why sexuality is important, to not ignore or abuse for some religious faith bigot group to rule over and harm.
