FYI, the whole "oppressor and oppressed" dichotomy that is interwoven in nearly every one of the terms of academic progressive mantras comes directly from the Commmunist Manifesto, right? Marx himself penned that relationship regarding economic relationships and woke takes it to the social realm.

Marx talked about oppression. Modern academics talk about oppression. Ergo modern academics are communists. I think there is a name for this logical fallacy, but I lack the energy to look it up.

It doesn't "come from" the CM. It is a thing the CM discussed - and so do modern academics. Are you saying that modern academics should not discuss oppression, or they should use other words for it? But if they did, then modern translations of the CM would also use those word, so same problem.
