No problem, I'm happy to explain further, I appreciate your curiosity and willingness to listen. I should say I do not find who you are disgusting, but the ideology. The History: Marxism is an ideology that principally promotes the idea that there are two main classes in society, the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. Basically the rich and the poor in more modern lingo. The oppressor and the oppressed. When this idea caught on in many countries, every single time the result was not egalitarian society but totalitarian dystopia. They used "class struggle" to justify eliminating anyone who disagreed: intellectuals, religious people, farmers who owned land, political opponents. Anyone could be labeled "bourgeois"(rich) and be executed.Some higher estimates put the death toll at 100Million but it is certainly at least 10s of millions. If you'd like to read an account of someone who lived through this i'd recommend this book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gulag-Archipelago-1918-1956-Perennial-Classics/dp/0060007761 Contemporary neo-Marxism: Identity politics is the modern version. Instead of class struggle, it's "protected groups" vs. "oppressors." It treats certain identities as inherently virtuous and beyond criticism, while anyone who questions them gets labeled "evil" or "disgusting" and silenced. Same logic, different target.When you say trans views can't be criticized without being "disgusting", that's the identity politics version of "you can't criticize the revolution without being an enemy of the people." The implications: The people who instigated classical Marxism had very noble intentions, everyone should be equal and own a share of their work etc. Much like their contemporaries who promote gender ideology and critical race theory etc.But the pattern is a clear one, it starts with "we're creating equality" and ends with "you're an enemy of the people if you disagree and deserve punishment".
