Okay, great, so we’re all in agreement here, Marxism-Leninism is auth left. That’s the only point I care to discuss here.

You know fine well what it is, an authoritarian state with a great deal of control over the people living under it. You can argue that this authoritarianism is justifiable because it’s the best way to bring about communism, but it’s still auth left. Heck, we currently live under an extremely authoritarian right wing system, so it could be less authoritarian than the current system but still remain authoritarian in the full balance considering alternatives, and thus auth left.

I hope this helps clear things up for you.

The auth left really sure do hate being called auth left, don’t they?

It can be a form of harm reduction at best. For the few minutes it takes to postal vote, I feel like it’s worthwhile, personally.

If you want to reduce intergenerational conflict, it helps to acknowledge the pain and how society has failed the less privileged.

As a millenial, you likely had a fairly normal childhood, a privelege many GenZ did not, due to COVID.

Obviously this isn’t your fault, and older generations have privelege you don’t have. If we want to advance class interests we need to be intersectional, and acknowledge the unique problems that affect some groups more than others.

You’re seeing the consequences of young people growing up during COVID. It is very, very difficult to unlearn what we were socialized for in our youth.

For most people who experience this, it literally is too late to change their ways. It’s possible but requires extreme effort and likely years of therapy.

There’s no amount of well meaning aphorisms older generations can pull out to make this better. It is a public mental health crisis and needs to be treated as such, not treated as individual failure.
