Summary
Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s embattled nominee for defense secretary, has denounced policies allowing openly gay troops and women in combat roles as part of a “Marxist” agenda undermining military readiness.
In his book The War on Warriors and past interviews, Hegseth criticized the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell” and argued that inclusivity erodes standards.
Accused of misconduct, his views against women in combat and seeing inclusivity as a threat to national security have been closely examined during his confirmation process.
You’re confusing economic systems with social policy…
Which is ironic considering that’s what you’re upset about others doing in the rest of your comment.
Yes, but the economic policy too, they don’t even have universal healthcare.
Healthcare is a social issue…
But it’s incredibly depressing that people believe it’s economic policy now.
Allowing for profit healthcare is very much economic policy too.
Also even with it being social its so intertwined with different economic factors that it is in many ways economics itself.
communism was originally a stateless, post economic, social organization structure. the fact of the matter is that all issues you engage with in life have multiple facets to them: social, economic, political, and propaganda. the real questions when applying a critical lens to our current place in time is to examine who benefits, who suffers, and who is played between the two to decide who the real evil is, and in what ways are they tricked into thinking the people with power are on their side.
