‘Feminists’ have always been the Ladies Auxiliary of the Left.

But his point is one I've been making for years, it's all about class snobbery and social prestige, and probably even more intensely so in Hollywood. It's about that unhinged greed for status, for superiority.

Repeating Leftist jargon grants a person several automatic rungs up the social ladder in most contexts and this is why leftists are not swayed by logic. They are desperate not to lose status.

And this is why our movies and our literature and our poetry have truly hit bottom. I miss the ‘old’ literature, the old poetry. The old movies.

There are almost no ordinary working people in either literature or poetry or movies anymore.

And when I say ‘class’ I consider it a construct in leftist minds. I don't believe it really exists except in the minds of Leftists, who are very alert to the least little sign of ‘lower-classness’. It started with that slimy Marcuse, who declared that the American ‘working class’ (there is no working class but never mind) had been bought off by capitalism.

So it was acceptable to fall back into snobbery.

Snobbery about what? Leftists rarely speak a second language, they have no skills, no imagination, no field expedience, they are not widely read, and they are all so very very pale.

Rant off.

Feminism is just another front for Marxism.

Of course, elitism is inherent in Marxism, it’s part of the recruiting process - you tell a youthful skull full of mush how special they are and how they can help lead the unenlightened masses,

and you got his attention.
