Here's the evil way Communists use identity groups to advance while externalizing costs.

1) Claim to speak for the identity group as members of the identity group.
2) Do evil, unpopular radical provocation in the name of the group while recruiting "allies" to the group.
3) When those provocations prove unpopular, hide behind the identity group and weaponize the allies to mystify the issue that way.
4) Provoke until backlash strikes the identity group, not the Communist, or claim it's identity-based when it's actually the provocation.
5) Use backlash to justify more provocations in the name of the group and to recruit and activate more "allies."
6) Repeat, repeat, repeat.

Learning to distinguish clearly between the Communist activists and the identity group is necessary to stop this parasitic process.
Communists do not champion issues on behalf of identity groups they colonize, extort, and hide behind. They're parasites on those groups and use them, eventually to their own destruction.
