      Yup. If you are a black dude, being able to afford a lawyer is key to getting your justice. Everyone needs economic resources to become their best selves and to defend against malice.

      The pure focus on social issues lets the Democratic leadership to have plausible deniability for fucking over people. Being legally LGBTQ+ doesn’t matter, when you can’t afford HRT, third spaces, fund LGBT media, or to afford a ring for your beloved. People can’t fully express themselves in society, if they are confined to the burger flipping mines.

      Actually, i’ve considered that economic justice automatically leads to social justice.

      Consider this: In the US, lots of things are heavily looked down upon, such as having sex before marriage (if you are in the unfortunate situation to have grown up in a christian area), but if you can earn money with it (e.g. onlyfans), your parents/neighbors might let you get away with it. After all, if you’re making money with it, surely you must be doing something right. Money rules, after all.

      This is an example where economic prosperity actually leads to social liberty. It’s messed up, but i’ve actually seen this example happen. It might work.
