Feminism and Astrology (hexbear.net)

I don't understand why there are so many people who consider themselves "Marxist feminists", but at the same time are distracted by astrology.

The origin of feminism is working class, and as a working class movement, it is materialist. I don't know if they at least know what dialectical materialism is, since they don't see such an abysmal contradiction between astrology (pseudoscience) and feminism (materialism).

They remind me of the liberal “feminist” Gloria Steinem.

And the same with some anarchists.

What do you think about it?

Calling an attitude idiotic doesn't equate with calling someone an idiot. I've made plenty of comments and a few posts in this community, and this is the first time that I remember that I'm discussing anti-materialist belief, feel free to check my profile and decide for yourself whether it seems like a priority to me.

Revolutions have been won by people who believe a god controls everything

Revolution is my main goal, but it's not the only goal. Beyond revolution, I want the world to be a better place in many other senses. Revolutions have also been won by majorities of anti-LGTBQ people, that doesn't mean we can't do better than that. Communism can be queerphobe, I just don't want it to be. I also don't want it to support anti-materialist beliefs and behaviours.
