For some, it could mean the expulsion of all non-indigenous populations which will never happen and would do a lot of harm if it did.

Ive never heard anyone sincerely give this take.

My great grandfather was a farmer who ultimately had to lose his farm because government regulations made it impossible to compete with the big guys.

This is a good example of why Land Back, and really any slogan or platitude is limited. Comparing genocide to losing a farm is exactly the result because systems of meaning making translate these slogans into something they were not created for.

It kinda demonstrates how unhelpful politcal spectrums and the left/right paradigm actually are.

My mother was advised to abort me by doctors and peers. She stood by her decision to have me.

And you know what? I dont give a fuck.

Im not going to be emotionally manipulated into backwards and reactionary sanctimony just so I can express a currated self importance and narcissism all to demonize healthcare advocates. The people who suggested aborting me are not malicious, but the narrative that I have to champion anti abortion sensibilities because I could have been aborted absolutely is.

Not really. But sometimes you gotta cut through the liberal parts and the essentialist parts before you find the radical side. Feminism is always developing (and really the mechanisms of gender respond to material conditions and the other human systems and then people study that, sometimes while under the spell of ideology etc ect) so while the ruling class appropriates pieces of it, feminist are aware of this and respond accordingly.

I do admit things are kinda bleak with the onslaught of conflicts and crises on top of everyday shit but dont count 'em out just because its looking bleak. There are a lot of women and feminist that are extremely capable and well organized and we should support them because feminism can be a game changing weapon in class warfare. Mao and Sankara would say they hold up half the sky, but if we run the numbers its more than half.
