I mean, maybe they would, but I’m not sure you’ve spent a lot of time with people from the global south if you think that’s even the more likely scenario let alone the probable one. Most immigrants I’ve known, and I’ve known a lot working on construction sites and in retail in high-diversity areas, are pretty socially conservative and religious. Religious values aren’t any less important to them than they are to our domestic fundamentalists.
Idk what kind of bubble your girlfriend lives in but the Communist movement in Africa as a whole is objectively socially conservative compared to the West. Most Communist parties still hold the line that lgbt identity is degeneracy born out of capitalist alienation. I think they’re wrong because scientific understanding of these issues points to that theory being a false assumption. I’m not going to tell them to go fuck themselves because of that though. Their struggle is still deserving of my support and collaboration.
Sure, a lot of people are bigoted, but the bigots are generally also very right-wing and wouldn’t be interested in joining our cause anyway.
Writing off someone immediately like this is an obstacle to mass movements. Some people just need a little push. Some, a bigger push.
