Anti imperialism takes priority. When the white worms are on their necks there's no much time for anything else.
But would it not make more sense to ally with internal queer people than to scapegoat them?
In general the left isn't scapegoating anybody.
What I mean here is anti-imperialist but non-Marxist movements
This is the same mindset that the GDR took which disastrously resulted in the creation of an anti-governmental block of citizens who did not believe that state represented them and were easily influenced into aiding Western agitators.
By the time the crackdown on "dissident cultures" such as the LGBT community, punks, rock and roll groups, and other such group finally reversed course, the die was already cast.
I think nobody is saying the past experiences, under strong siege by the imperialist powers, were perfect. I also think those struggles can be unified under a class banner. But the fight now is fragmented: the anti capitalists are more organized and with more solid theory than these highly liberalized identitarian groups. We need comrades working on making bridges.
