That said, I would probably categorise ‘anti-feminism’ as a reactionary mentality different to being critical of a particular doctrine of feminist thought

Agree on that point. I think part of the problem is that "feminism," like "democracy" and even "socialism," has become in mainstream discourse just a buzzword for something vaguely Good and Progressive, which most people couldn't define if you asked them to, but which they feel they must as citizens of the modern west support. That sort of vague sentiment is easily attacked and destroyed by those with some ulterior motive.

The stance you espouse should be utterly uncontroversial.

It kind of is in this sub -- I only was tentative in bringing it up because last year, after the first big reddit exodus happened, we had about four massive site-wide arguments on the topic. When the genuine Marxist line you've indicated became basically uncontroversial, and everybody moved on to knock-down, drag-out struggle sessions on "what is productive labor," and "what is socialist patriotism," I knew we'd finally transcended reddit.

Roll with it, comrade, there are a couple lurking libs here (and maybe one or two ultras) who downvote everything. We wear their downvotes like a badge of pride.

Unlike Banderites, who have a culture of rape, mass murder, and annoying all intelligent people with their dumb-as-shit internet posts.

You're not wrong, but unfortunately much of what passes for "feminism" in the west today has also become complicit in this stuff. (Not to open that struggle session again, but I first realized this about the time certain center-left publications started pushing the "sex work is work" line in a completely uncritical way; whatever the proper Marxist attitude to prostitution is, promoting it to huge numbers of women, as a viable substitute for productive labor, is certainly unprincipled and plays into the hand of capital). Socialist feminism is the way forward!

Reminds of me of that one Egyptian guy on Aljazeera who claimed that ancient Egypt was socdem and that the pyramids were Keynsian job creation projects

This isn't just reddit country, this is stormfront country

As something of a Germanophile, I appreciate the hammer and compass. The German people will rise again!

Online as it may sound, I kind of look forward to the day when genzedong on lemmy is as hated as genzedong on reddit was

That awkward moment when fascists realize that we tankies are more pro-European than they are

That would certainly explain all the sex trafficking
