Welcome again to everybody! Make yourself at home. Sit down in that squeaky rocking chair over there. Have some hot cocoa. That’ll be fifty yuan. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!
We have our own Matrix homeserver at https://genzedong.org; you can make an account with any Matrix client (e.g. Element). We also have a GenZedong Matrix room (see the sidebar for more information), and there’s a general Lemmygrad Matrix room at #internationale:genzedong.org.

Different underlying philosophy. Diversity or feminism as espoused by liberal mainstream is metaphysical in nature. Things are what they are, and they do not change. Everything fits in these neat tiny boxes.
Dialectic approach understands that things are subject to processes and change.
I understand that on the surface my comment seems that I’m just going “yuck, diversity”. That is not the case.
Any liberal analysis is inevitably going to be much worse than a materialist one, but even a watered down, capitalism-friendly discussion about systemic exploitation (without mentioning economic class) is a good thing from my perspective, especially if it leads to better analysis later on. It’s probably easier to radicalize people who are already aware of structural oppression on the basis of race/gender/etc.
