Fuck knows man. Probably if you forced them to pick a position. Anarcha-Feminists or something equally stupid, I imagine.
But I think they have potential. Most of them fundamentally are class conscious, there is just a lot of op-shop identitarian shit on top.

>Honestly this is true, but I think when it comes down to class you'll find these people on your side.
Yep, I agree. Whenever I interact with these people we spit like strange cats, we insult each other, all of that. But at least in my mind, it's with the understanding that if and when shit hits the fan, we're in the streets together.

My experience with them has been:
>judged for needing time to do stuff in my life other than protest and do reading groups
>witnessed passers-by being straight up screamed at for disagreeing at a stand where we were trying to recruit people
>Was worrying about canvassing on O-week making me less likely to make friends, and they said 'you don't want to be friends with someone who doesn't accept this part of your life, anon'
