I identify as left-wing economically, but think white male cis-het "socialism" tends to be non-intersectional, which is what makes it also play well with the same white middle-class male anxieties as Trumpism. It's easy to say nothing else is an economic concern if you don't suffer from the particular problems that can restrict your life under racism, misogyny and homophobia, etc.
