Seems to be the commentary of yet another marxist. The problem she will have is when you want to initiate change which has broad support (like ensuring equal opportunity, combating racism, access to quality education and healthcare, fairness in the justice system), but mix in extremist ideas (like attacking capitalism, or stating EVERY institution is borne of white supremacy), then possible allies become staunch opponents.
