Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

Of course it's used as an attack on the Left, the phrase is the political equivalent of calling someone "ethnic". It's white-male normativity by the owner class.
"Genteel" white men controlling all political power and wealth is normal politics, but other people being involved is identity politics.
