If we could turn back time - to the good ole days

I have just been engaging with a thread where an activist talks abut the 30's and how Labour's socialist policies of the times saw housing etc for all. My issue with this statement is that underpinning Labours socialism of the time was colonisation', which as we know allowed a predominantly white male govt to offer stolen land up to build houses on for poor white people. Maori were discouraged from applying for racist reasons. Labours then progressive socialism, via Savage, was also underpinned by sexism - women were not encouraged to work and issues such as rape and abuse were neither acknowledged nor fully dealt with. Conversations on also saw also saw a of a lot of victim blaming from politicians. So under this progressive policy of housing the poor, poor women were trapped in their brand new state houses being abused. As far as your blatant homosexual was concerned - they did not need to be housed in anything but prisons or mental health care facilities. Harping back to a better an brighter time ignores the isms that underpinned much of the era spoken about as well as overlooking and the conservative political theories and practices of the time. I believe the outcomes of the hard fought for changes has been assimilation as women/queers/Maori are tagged onto coattails of white straight male ideology. Tweaking the margins has not offered much to those still living in the margins. Isn't it time to unpack then that we rethink the political ideologies of the left and right - of democracy - socialism - anarchy and demand something different? Assimilating into a political ideology grown from racism and all the other isms feels to me like a backhanded win. What something different looks like I do not know, however there are enough creative and exciting possibilities if we decided to critique the looking back on the golden ages and took our rose coloured glasses off whilst unpacking the contradictions that are woven into the political landscape.
I find that concept far more exciting then demanding Labour return to some whitewash socialism that helped white straight men get a house and then go on to live their nice white straight male orientated lives.
