This year let's have a look at what "SJW" actually means shall we, before we blithely incorporate such a philistine term in political practice as Marxism-Leninists. I'll note it's nice to see you use correct pronouns. If SJWs are everywhere you should perhaps consider the validity of what they are saying.
No consistent definition of SJW is given by anyone apart from reactionaries. It is not because they are reactionaries that they are wrong, their subjective reflections are simply that of enemy classes. According to American Renaissance "“SJW” stands for “social justice warrior,” which is approximately synonymous with: militant, politically correct ideologue. Or perhaps stridently leftist cultural Marxist".
militant means "vigorously active, combative and aggressive". That's correct.
"politically correct". Marxist-Leninists should strive for political correctness because the correctness of the political line is what the success or failure of their movement depends on.
"ideologue" The ideology of socialist production is opposed to capitalist production, it is being articulated in the form of rights as they exclude the bourgeoisie through class struggle.
"stridently leftist" this is correct, Marxist oppose authority with consistent ideology and the development of superior organization
"Cultural Marxist" Superstructural expressions of the base developed in class struggle are the means of expressing the movements political line, it is no exaggeration to say Marxism is inevitably cultural, in the senses of the word that marks it as modern and the creation of new forms of culture as a result of socialist production. One example is Socialist Art, which was a development on techniques Capitalist production could not sustain.
The only one who actually went through the trouble of giving a definition is none other than Vox Day, who's answer to the Eurytphro arguement was "both". Let's go through it:
>a philosophy of activism for activism’s sake
each stage of class struggle is the basis for another higher stage of class struggle, this is true.
> a dedication to rooting out behavior they deem problematic, offensive, or unacceptable in others
As opposed to Liberalism, which is hypocritical and contradictory acceptance. For the most part this is true of every ethical human being on earth, it is wrong not to criticise, identify and offer a corrective to something which is mistaken.
>a custom of primarily identifying individuals by their sex, race, and sexual orientation
There is a tendancy to ascribe individual into categories on their appearance (and behaviour in the last case) within their own models as far as they believe them to correspond correctly with reality. The response to this is to identify the response to these trait as they are perceived universally and objectively without the same conclusions being made.
>a hierarchy of intrinsic morality based on the identity politics of sex, race, and sexual orientation
Ethically this is no more legitimate place a to derive behavioral codes than any other, in fact in political practice it may be even more so.
>a quasi religious belief in equality, diversity, and the inevitably of progress . . .
Beliefs are quasi-religious as a historical departure of scientific knowledge from criticism of received tradition or religious dogma. Materialism is Egalitarian. Diversity (differentiation) exist irrespective of one's belief in it, as objective reality as matter is produced and formed into shapes which are different. Progress is inevitable not metaphysically, but historically as the accumilation of productive forces contribute to increased faculty to depart from nature and correspond to the actualization of human desire to a greater degree. History is the story of men in pursuit of their ends.
