If you make a poll with two options, you can force people into two camps, and declare on the "winner". I would bet that most of us have slightly more nuanced positions, where we may be influenced by arguments made by either the "Tankies" or the "evil earth destroying capitalists" depending on context.

By all means do the poll as best you see fit. I’m none binary when it comes to polling.

DEI is fundamentally anti-marxist. The core principle of marxism is that capitalism cannot be reformed. DEI is an attempt to reform capitalism.

Not to mention Marx was quite explicit that class (not nebulous identities) was the primary division in society.

Proponents of DEI are radical liberals.

Yeah it's extremely weird to see 'marxist' thrown everywhere DEI appears.

Marx made it clear that the only real difference between people was money (and ~ power somehow).

>DEI is fundamentally anti-marxist.

It's not explicitly Marxist, but come on, it does borrow quite a few key ideas.

That's kind of like saying Methodists are fundamentally Anti-Christian because they've deviated from Catholicism.

There are a multitude of conflicting bad ideas burning through the zeitgeist.

They try to grab a toehold by appearing more popular than they actually are.
