Re: OP

[meadowphoenix]

the way it's generally used *gestures* online is negatively toward people who assert progress through capitalistic success. i.e. rich poc or rich lbgt folks or the people who think those people have Done Something by reaching financial pinnacles. MOST celebrities or other famous people do this, so this is a charge you can level against most people you don't like. This is incompatible with leftism, but a lot of leftists who are new to leftism still reach for economic success so.........i can see where it would get confusing.

I mean, POC or LGBT folks who've become rich despite obstacles (through work, versus inheritance) HAVE done something?

Re: OP

the context of this is political, which is about the class, not individuals. they've done something for themselves, which is irrelevant to this discussion. By simply getting rich, they've done ZERO for their people as a group, and often (I would say always but I'll make this concession since I think there are levels) made their riches on the backs of/exploiting their people as a class and other marginalized people, either directly through their money enterprises or indirectly, by letting their money enterprises lobby for policies which harm others but help them.

ETA: I should ALSO say, that the ability of an individual of a marginalized class to become rich and/or powerful is always a possibility even in those situations which would preclude for the majority of their class. You can see this throughout history in various places. While capitalists have a l w a y s said these individuals were proof of concept that capitalism isn't oppressive, leftist tend to see the opposite, that the exceptions prove the rule.
