Family Feuding Within the Church of Leftism By Mrs Vera West

     Leftists have constantly fought, although we tend to think of them as homogeneous. There were different flavours of Marxism some of which were intellectual fashions and died, like structuralist Marxism associated with Louis Althusser (1918-1990) who strangled his wife, a leftist sociologist. It happens.

     But, the big battle now is over gender, or transgenderism, which is deconstructing even conventional feminism, as women are now a social construction:

“Activist groups that claim to support lesbians and gays appear to be spending more of their time these days protecting the transgender industry that has grown up around the new progressive wish list item of eradicating identification by biological sex. Some lesbians and even transgender cultural commentators are calling out groups like GLAAD and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) for attempting to create the narrative that individuals who claim discomfort with their biological sex are yet another group of victims of wholesale injustice and bigotry. “Why is the progressive left lying to us and what motive is behind it?” asked lesbian YouTube creator Arielle Scarcella in a recent video series. “Political? Financial?” Scarcella takes to task, for example, activist groups GLAAD and HRC for “keeping a tally of any and all transgender people killed on a yearly basis.” She states in the video that she and some trans friends have researched these lists “and we can see that something just isn’t right” in terms of the claims the murdered individuals were indeed killed solely because they were trans. Scarcella quotes from transgender writer Sophia Narwitz: “There is no trans murder epidemic. But someone is using trans deaths for political gain in America.”

     Narwitz observed at RT Wednesday the distinction between traditional progressives and “the new left”:

It sounds insane to say, but the party that once rallied against gay conversion therapy is coming shockingly close to promoting it themselves. All under the guise of supporting the trans community. […] Growing up as a gay youth, I always aligned with the left in regards to their fight against conversion therapy and their belief that sexuality isn’t a choice. Today I still maintain those views. What gender and genitals someone is attracted to is just what someone is attracted to, it simply will not be forcefully changed. But to the new left, sexuality is akin to bigotry, and one must be open to all genders lest they be seen as hateful. The clash comes as Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling has also expressed significant concern on Twitter and elsewhere that the push for cross-sex hormones and surgical interventions, such as elective double mastectomies, is actually “a new kind of conversion therapy for young gay people, who are being set on a lifelong path of medicalisation that may result in the loss of their fertility and/or full sexual function.” LGBT activist groups have lobbied state legislatures throughout the United States to ban “conversion therapy,” which, they claim, attempts to change the sexual orientation or gender identities of LGBT young people. Some 20 state legislatures have caved to these activists, and allowed themselves to approve government control over the private clinical conversations between therapists and patients who may wish to explore their discomfort with their sexual orientation or gender issues. Lambda Legal responded to Rowling, stating, “Stop spreading misinformation.”

     The attack upon respectable figure such as J. K. Rowling, has led to a denouncing by a subgroup of the intelligentsia denouncing the “restriction of debate,” but don’t get excited, they are not defending our rights of free speech, only their rights, their new class:

“Some 150 writers, academics and activists - including authors JK Rowling, Salman Rushdie and Margaret Atwood - have signed an open letter denouncing the "restriction of debate". They say they applaud a recent "needed reckoning" on racial justice, but argue it has fuelled stifling of open debate. The letter denounces "a vogue for public shaming and ostracism" and "a blinding moral certainty". Several signatories have been attacked for comments that caused offence. That includes Harry Potter author JK Rowling who was fiercely criticised this month for comments about transgender people. A diverse cross-section of figures from across the globe put their names to the letter which was published on Tuesday in Harper's Magazine. It includes US intellectual Noam Chomsky, eminent feminist Gloria Steinem, Russian chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov and author Malcolm Gladwell. Several have had works banned in some countries, including British novelist Salman Rushdie, who lived in hiding after receiving death threats for his 1988 book Satanic Verses. And at least two novels by Syrian writer Khalid Khalifa that criticised Syria's government were banned in his home country. Other signatories are prominent historians of race and slavery, including Nell Irvin Painter, who wrote The History of White People and David Blight, who heads Yale University's Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition. Many have been in public life for decades, while others are younger including 29-year-old activist Sarah Haider, whose organisation Ex-Muslims of North America aims to normalise religious dissent. What does the letter say? "The free exchange of information and ideas, the lifeblood of a liberal society, is daily becoming more constricted," suggests the letter. It also says: "We uphold the value of robust and even caustic counter-speech from all quarters. "But it is now all too common to hear calls for swift and severe retribution in response to perceived transgressions of speech and thought." The letter condemns "disproportionate punishments" meted out to targets of public shaming by institutional leaders conducting "panicked damage control."”

     I am pretty cynical about this, as the response has been left very late, long after the banning of much of the Dissent Right, and only now as the Globalist cultural Marxists work their way further down the list. I look forward, in an accelerationist way, to more of this conventional normie stuff getting banned to ram home the lesson that this is a full-scale revolution that will not stop until Western civilisation is destroyed, and White people are extinct, as the maxim, made by some, that White Lives Don’t Matter, indicates. Even mild mannered academics are getting cancelled now.
