The survey found that 32% of eligible voters believe Germany has worsened since Merz took office in May, while just 22% say the country has improved. A further 37% perceive no change at all.

    I don’t understand what you mean with equality of equity.

    It’a a losing strategy to fight with limited resources every possible battle. Targets have to be prioritised. That the demand to fight each battle at the same time is even considered speaks for the deep influence of the elite on the left discourse.

    Why can’t the class war be fought first? Shouldn’t that resolve all other inequalities? Who would suppress queer people under communism?

        There is that Wikipedia page for this debate. This is a big debate. Arguments don’t seem to lead to a result or a result would have been mentioned. I only know that it’s bad strategy to spread resources thin. If winning is not important then an endless series of skirmishes that considers all topics equally is an option.

        I would still love to know

          Again. What hinders you from fighting for queer rights and an end to class inequality simultaneously? The resources are there. If you don’t think it is possible, then you have no desire to end real existing discrimination such as the ones I face as a queer person who has an ethnically diverse family.

          I experience plenty of socialists who fight for both and make the fight intersectional. Why do you not want that?

            Where do you experience discrimination? Who controls the situation? Do you think the discrimination would continue under communism?

            E.g. it would be a waste of resources to fight for equal opportunities in work environments because a communist society would make that a requirement.

          As if any “real existing socialist” countries are beacons of queer rights. And queer people don’t automatically don’t get discriminated when the capitalist class doesn’t exist. There are plenty of socialists and communists out there who actively call queer politics a product of capitalism.

          Why do you think class equality, which communists are still is far as ever are from achieving, automatically creates equality for queer people and defeats queerphobia? As far as we could know, queer people could be labelled as counterrevolutionary as they have in the past.

            who actively call queer politics a product of capitalism.

            That’s disheartening. Are there reasons? E.g. if most queer people demand to fight all battles and not class war first then that is to be expected.

            Why do you think class equality automatically creates equality for queer people

            Because equality is the consensus among left politics. Who should establish inequality in a classless society?

            I think we are past the point where people on the left would see queer people as enemies. Which arguments were used in the past?
