Peoples’ desires to be culturally conservative, monocultural, traditional, or to have a national, ethnic or religious identity should be seen as rights that an Alt Left would not interfere with. Certainly the notion that lack of diversity is in and of itself a problem should be opposed by an Alternative Left. Immigrants should be allowed to keep their own cultures (multiculturalism) in the first generation, but after that, assimilation should be encouraged. People ought to get along, and an Alt Left should not be a racist movement. In areas that are already diverse, non-discrimination and non-racism as general principles are good things.

On the other hand, homosexuality should not be cheered or championed, and certainly experimental or opportunistic homosexuality should not be promoted as some sort of cool thing or hipster fad.Ģ. Gay rights, yes! Gay politics, no! Support and tolerance for biological homosexuals to live their lives as they choose in freedom and happiness. Lord Keynes considers the following as important: Robert Lindsay’s Vision of the Alt Left A transman is not a man it is a woman who thinks she is a man.4. Women’s rights, yes! Women’s politics, no! An Alt Left should support Equity Feminism but not Gender, Radical, Man-hating or Anti-male Feminism.3. On the other hand, homosexuality should not be cheered or championed, and certainly experimental or opportunistic homosexuality should not be promoted as some sort of cool thing or hipster fad.2. It has some quite controversial points, even for people deeply disillusioned with the modern mainstream left, but deserves a fair hearing: Robert Lindsay, “Dealbreakers: What the Alternative Left is Not,” Beyond Highbrow, 19 February, 2016.
