Just some wisdom from a former Communist comrade.
One does not have to be overly acute to see a strong resemblance between a Communist activist on the one hand, and a feminist, a homosexual activist, and a liberal-democratic lumpen-intellectual on the other. Their opinions have the same tedious predictability, their arguments are based on similarly crude syllogisms, their styles are similarly vulgar, and their minds are equally dogmatic, unperturbed by any testimony from outside and prone to the same degree of zealousness. On both sides we see what the Marxists called the unity of theory and practice, which translates into clear language meaning the total subordination of thinking to the ideological precepts of political action; this subordination, instead of being a cause of shame, is proudly held up as an achievement of the new times. Both sides - Communist and liberal-democratic - share their dislike, sometimes bordering on hatred, toward the same enemies: the Church and religion, the nation, classical metaphysics, moral conservatism, and the family. Both are unable to mitigate their arrogance toward everything that their ideology despises, and which, in their revolutionary ardor, they seek to remove from the public space and from private lives. Both are fixated on one or two things that they refer to ad nauseam because those things delineate the unbreachable boundaries of their mental horizon. In every sentence from the Leninist and Stalinist catechisms one can replace "proletariat" with "women" or with "homosexuals", make few other minor adjustments, and no one will recognize the original source. Both sides desire a better world so badly that in order to have it, they do not hesitate to control the totality of human life - including these aspects that are most personal and intimate.

No of course leftists aren't commies. They are different in name only. In many ways they're actually worse. And if they aren't stopped we'll all find this out the hard way when our lives, communities and families are torn apart and we're sent either to the re-education camps or to the labor camps to be worked to death or starved.
Identity politics, political correctness, social justice etc is all a load of repackaged Communist sloganry and ideology. It's not about justice and tolerance and equality its the exact opposite in every way that matters. And those opposites will be the reality for us all in the People's Republic of America. If you vote for it.
