Not sure what point you're trying to make.

No one is arguing that the Kochs are unintelligent or uneducated.

They used their connections and got into good universities and got degrees in Chemical Engineering?

Are you saying the Kochs got rich because they worked for their money? LMAO

Not only can we focus on multiple issues, but we must.

Yes, duh.

But you're ignoring the fact that people who tend to aggressively push the whole "egalitarianism" angle are doing it specifically to attack feminism.

Going into a discussion about feminism and saying "but what about the men!?" is not okay.

Going into a discussion about anti-racism and saying "but what about the white people!?" is not okay.

Going into a discussion of gay rghts and saying "but what about the straight people!?" is not okay.

 

This sort of derailment tactic has been documented at length. You need to stop.

FAQ: What’s wrong with saying that things happen to men, too?

But What About the Menz?!

His MRA beliefs came from the internet.

So? How does that make it any less real?

The MRA movement (yes, it is a movement) has an actual visible impact on society.

it's a group of people who gather online to share their hate.

Guess what? Practically everyone uses the internet. Your argument is nonsensical.

They contribute to museums around the country, they run a massive Prostate Cancer foundation which is a very underfunded disease, they give lots of money to schools and lots more.

You ignore how they got that money and power in the first place.

It's like praising a mugger for being kind and charitable because they gave you a dollar after taking your entire wallet.

They have a political ideology that is WRONG, but that's all it is, a political ideology.

What they do actually hurts people.

yet you're complaining about a "movement" that's limited to a few thousand libertarians on reddit and a couple college clubs

If you think MRAs only exist on the internet, you have a lot to learn.

Oh, so now they are oppressed? Or not?

Men are affected by it, but pretending they are oppressed like women are is absolutely ridiculous.

There's a reason it's called patriarchy and not something else.

feminism and egalitarianism

The popular liberal narrative of "egalitarianism" ignores the relationship between the oppressors and the oppressed. But, of course, you're someone who thinks white people experience racist oppression so I don't expect you to understand these concepts.

It is already well understood that feminists fight for a just and equitable society.

I'm not going to play into the MRA narrative of "egalitarianism" being a separate concept from other struggles against oppression.

Crowing "but what about the men!?!" in a discussion of feminism shows you to be an ignorant buffoon.

Go away.

The problem is a socialist state cannot attract talent the same way a Capitalist society can.

Oh for sure man. It's not like the Soviet Union was the global leader in space exploration, physics, chemistry, etc...

How does exploitation and profit, which makes capitalists rich, lower the price of commodities?

And why do socialists have to compete with capitalists on the basis of profit (something that does not exist within socialism)?

If anything, the socialist mode of production is far more efficient because it is free of the the parasitic effects of capitalism. Production happens to satisfy needs, instead of satisfying the capitalist's desire for profit.

This article on how the USSR traded with capitalist countries may give you some insight.

In socialism there are no profits, because there is no exploitation of the working class, because there is no capitalism.

Why would socialists need to compete with capitalist businesses anyway?

Gay rights activists don't tell heterosexual people that their problems don't exist

Heterosexual people are definitely not oppressed on the basis of sexual orientation.

So from a gay rights perspective, heterosexual people do not have problems. This is just a statement of fact.

and that they need to stop being revolutionary.

What are you talking about?

Feminists say a concurrent egalitarianism movement should stop existing

What is the "egalitarianism movement" anyway?

I have never seen an 'egalitarianist' who wasn't just using that word as a cover to be a reactionary anti-feminist. I see this sort of argument mainly from MRAs.

But then still wants Feminism to only address female problems.

Women are oppressed on the basis of gender. Men are not!

And feminists do address men's problems, from the perspective that toxic hetero-patriarchy harms men to some extent too. But it harms women to a far greater extent, so that's what feminists focus on the most.

Competitive in what aspect, exactly? And with whom?

I don't understand why Feminists insist that Feminism is Egalitarianism, and then in the same breath claim that it's okay for Feminism to only address women's issues.

Why don't gay rights activists focus on heterosexual people's issues?

Why don't trans rights activists focus on cis people's issues?

Why don't anti-racism activists focus on white people's issues?

Why don't disability rights activists focus on able-bodied people's issues?

Maybe you ought to take a few moments and think about the questions you're asking.
