Can the far left be MRAs?

GodHand7 · 2026-01-18T00:11:39+00:00

Anything left from center is anti male nowadays, of course the more left you go the more intense this becomes. This happens because leftism and feminism have merged together and I dont think that anyone here is naive enough to not understand that modern feminism doesnt work everyday more and more to make men second class citizens

WheresTaz · 2026-01-18T00:20:53+00:00

I think there's left and then there's reddit left. They can be left wing but I doubt they can be reddits version of left wing.

I’ve found r/leftwingmaleadvocates to be an extremely positive community.

The left wing politic generally adopt, use and then discard individual social subgroups or causes. Their values radiate from the attainment of power, with little or no regard to the real benefit of the groups they claim to support.

Left wing MRAs will frequently support Men's Rights, while concurrently explaining the achievement of men's rights in terms of benefits to women and girls, benefits to the community generally, but without any real benefits to men and boys (except that men and boys will feel better about themselves and secure the approval of women and the community).

This Left wing usery can be observed in their treatment of people of color in the US, where decades of left wing agitation have resulted in falling quality of life, lower living standards, breakdown of the family units and imprisonment rates that are increasing, not improving.

Left wing MRAs continue to espouse the evils of "toxic masculinity", the subordination of men to the needs of others, and the re-education of boys to meet community expectations.

The real far left, power to the wokers, is automatically MRA!

The problem is : the second they allow feminist ideology, it becomes : "Power to women" as university seats, management seats, are reserved for women thus power becomes not attributed to the hardest worker, but by gender, thus making it incompatible with MRA, and frankly, the real left!

They also attribute power by skin color in the same way, which is racist!

The far left is not anti male. Maybe this new western version but do you think they are anti male in China, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Colombia? If anything they are more sexists towards woman in those countries. Being “far left” in the west is very different from far left in other regions of the world.

Conservatarian1 · 2026-01-17T23:41:01+00:00

No, the far left by its nature can never support men’s rights.

OmNamoShivaya44 · 2026-01-18T00:27:28+00:00

Independent leftist MRA here. So yes.

Status-Evening-1434 · 2026-01-17T22:47:55+00:00

Feminism is a key component in Marxist ideology so likely not. There are for left of centre but not far left.

SupaJenkins · 2026-01-18T02:50:22+00:00

The far left hates men, and the far right are a Nazi party... Once again, I must raise the concept of 'Equalism'- true equality between men and women. Under this umbrella, we could finally, FINALLY be able to exist alongside women without being turned into a scapegoat for strawman arguments and falsified claims!

Pretend-Storm4566 · 2026-01-17T22:40:40+00:00

The Left can certainly be MRAs, there's a sub for them. But can the FAR Left be MRAs? I don't think so. Identity politics is so ingrained into Leftest extremism I don't think it's possible. I'm sure there are lots of people who claim to be far Left and claim to be MRAs, but I don't think they realize just how far the Left has gone.

You can't buy into patriarchy theory and be an MRA. And, in my opinion, you cannot be far Left and not believe in patriarchy theory. If you think men do not hate and oppress women, then how could you be far Left? You can be FAIRLY Leftist and think that, but FAR Leftist? I don't think so.

northseaview · 2026-01-18T10:32:16+00:00

Definition of left is highly subjective and in the US it is basically nonexistent, with left commonly referring to liberal who are effectively right wing. Socialists have been infiltrated by feminism as well as neo liberal stooges during the postwar boom so absorb a lot of their anti male shit.

However politics left or right are entirely independent of gender politics and it would be a mistake to subordinate male issues to any political agenda. Support from the left can be gained by emphasizing the link between male and working class interests and has more prospect given the class make up the majority of society. Support from the right will follow by defending male freedom and rights. The left must fend off feminist detractors and the right the racist and bigot man haters.

DutchOnionKnight · 2026-01-17T23:22:33+00:00

Since the far left ideology is based on identity and opression, they could never.

However moderate lefties certainly can!

THEAdrian · 2026-01-18T03:02:32+00:00

You know what terms never existed 15 years ago when I first joined this sub? "The far left", "the far right", "leftists", "right-wingers". This is all made up shit that doesn't accurately describe any real person. It's this weird way of grouping a bunch of people you don't like together when none of them really self-identify as that term. It's just an insult, but a really fucking lazy one.

Caring about men's rights isn't left or right, cuz neither side does. But I'll tell you all right now, joining the side of fascism and hate certainly isn't the way to go about being respected.

This sub has been devolving into a caricature of the stereotypes that everyone thinks we are, and it's been depressing as hell. I say this as someone who generally votes Liberal/left, but I certainly don't identify as a "leftist" or a "liberal" as I believe anyone who identifies themselves by a political ideology is cringe af. I'm also not a "cuck" or a "soyboy". I'm jacked, I own a gun, I hunt, I'm straight. I work for a non-profit and I'm unionized and very happy about that, I make a good living. I'm married to a woman who is the antithesis of everything negative that is said about women in this sub who makes more money than I do. I'm supportive of men's rights, women's rights, LGBTQ rights, and basically everyone's rights. I've also never met a feminist in person who didn't like me. The point is, I could choose to be antagonistic to everyone who is "on the left" or do my best to show them that men aren't what they've been told. And I'm probably wasting my time typing all of this because this sub has gone to shit.

TL;DR: the "far-left" isn't a real thing, but being super right-wing isn't gonna make your shitty life any better

MaximumTangerine5662 · 2026-01-18T07:28:06+00:00

There are three sexes (various itnersex variables), and gender is considered subjective. Perhaps not far left but centrist-left leaning in other opinions like gun control, immigration. Unfortunately, a lot of spaces tokensize guys (for example, being tolerated because you are black but only being cared for your race and demonise white guys).

kandradeece · 2026-01-18T16:56:14+00:00

Far left, then no. Normal left then yes. I am mostly center. Sometimes left, sometimes right. Both sides hate men but in different ways. Left hates everything about men whereas the right only pushes the old stereotype of men while putting down those that don't fit. Even those that do fit end up in peacock contests like their whole life revolves around how "manly" they are.

Heisenburg7 · 2026-01-17T23:04:29+00:00

The far left? I've never seen it. But I'm mostly Liberal and am an MRA.

MikiSayaka33 · 2026-01-17T23:37:18+00:00

They're a tiny population. But they exist.

tilldeathdoiparty · 2026-01-18T01:16:28+00:00

The far left routinely performs curated attacks on the sub, in that same post, one of the major pro-male anti masculinity extremists actually admitted thy were strong allies with feminists then men’s rights and immediately deleted every comment and their account.

It’s an attack, and you need to keep your composure and lure them into a corner where they can’t talk out of …. They are emotionally triggered very easily and have a fit, it’s rather pathetic.

Unique_Magician6323 · 2026-01-18T05:16:51+00:00

How can the far left possibly be MRAs. Men are literally the outgroup/enemy who they rail against.

My_Legz · 2026-01-18T00:20:36+00:00

The far left? I have literally never seen it. The left? Yes, I think there is space for it there

Left wing ideology is collectivism. It submits the individual to the consensus of unelected “experts”—a managerial priest-class operating a bureaucratic, feudal despotism (communism), or any large, invasive, micro-managing government.

Men, however, are the experts in their own lives.

This is why all healthy, cognitively intact men are right wing.

Right wing philosophy is little to no government. It is self-rule, self-ownership, personal responsibility, and unalienable liberty. Right wing societies are built around the sovereignty of the family unit.

A strong family is the first defense against tyranny. This is why movements such as feminism intentionally attack and destabilize the family. Tyranny views the family as competition to its totalitarian control.

The ideologically captured American Psychological Association (APA) has declared war on men. As a licensing body, the APA selects ideologically compliant agents to carry out its agenda. It focuses on deconstructing men’s agency, autonomy, and participation in the civilization they built.

If this is what left wing institutions like the APA want to take from us, then we must resist their social engineering at all costs, including rejecting left wing males from our company.

They are incredibly Machiavellian and duplicitous, and by character or by design, they will weaken our resolve to achieve MRAs’ goals.

For this reason, healthy, well-adjusted men could never be left wing. Agency, self-determination, competition, excellence, hierarchy, merit, capability, and competency are all vital to the masculine spirit.

Men’s competition is about discovering what is true, what is best, and earning joy. The pursuit of truth and beauty necessarily creates a hierarchy of value and meaning.

Since not everyone can be equal to the best, left wing egalitarianism forces everyone to be equal to the worst.

It is difficult for men to live a lie simply to conform to the lowest common denominator of the collective. Likewise, it is difficult for a left wing male to summon the courage required to test his metal, nor become vulnerable enough to navigate our hierarchical geography.

They want the wins without earning them or taking personal risk. This is living a lie. It takes a disordered or dysfunctional mind to live a lie.

This is why the left does not understand rights.

A right is 90% responsibility, 9% duty, and 1% liberty.

This makes sense to healthy men. It is abhorrent to left wing males, who are harm-avoidant. Responsibility, duty, accountability, and risk are perceived by them as harms.

They want government protection from the consequences of their choices, freeing them from agency so they never have to grow by learning from their mistakes. Permitting them infinitely repeating bad choices at no personal cost, as the mess of it becomes distributed to the tax payers.

Right wing men would never permit a government to deny them any aspect of the full human experience, not even suffering.

Tolerance is a vice. Indignation is the virtue.

EnormousPurpleGarden · 2026-01-17T23:30:15+00:00

Yes. Far left means down with billionaires and power to the workers. It's entirely consistent with men's rights.

chriscrowder · 2026-01-18T11:47:26+00:00

The left don't even know what a man is! 😂

Syyurii · 2026-01-18T00:20:08+00:00

As a socialist and a muslim and a dude with a dihh, yh?

Stop being a sexist in social gatherings (don't be a dick), stop being an entitled prick when dating women (and have the self-respect to never entertain women who act like pricks), and stop downplaying the plight of minorities/women/LGBTQ+/SWs (you don't have to agree with them on everything, as long as you internalise the belief that everyone should receive basic respect regardless of their circumstances, and that you empathise with their plights, then yeah you'll do just fine; for those who act cliquey against you, you can firmly but respectfully remind them they are being discriminatory and acting like fascist bigots; if they persist, they were never lefties to begin with).

Literally the easiest thing in the world; don't be a dick; believe all deserve respect; tolerate all nice folks, you do not have to tolerate a dick.
