I'm not sure what's their goal with their "social construct" thing. If it's to render everything labelled "social construct" as non natural/artificial in order to invalidate/disqualify those things, or if it's to render their maxist stuff as natural by equating it to everything natural they labelled as "social construct"

Marxism and social construction

Abstract

Today the proposition that identities are socially constructed is common place.A hundred years ago, characteristics like sex, race, nationality, generation and social class would have been seen as natural characteristics. Now, just as unassailably, these self-same characteristics are no longer seen as natural, but rather attributed to a social process of the construction of identity. In some cases these characteristics are renamed to signify their social origins: race becomes ethnicity, sex becomes gender. It is not just that these social categories are supposed to overlay natural properties, the proposition is that there is no discrete natural foundation to identities, rather socially constructed identities are the real content of the characteristics once attributed to nature.

...

"these self-same characteristics are no longer seen as natural" says who? Since when sex isn't natural now? Since marxist said so? Fuck that shit

Language is a social construct, math is a social construct, civilization is also a social construct, now what? Cancel all those because "social construct"? Change every definition in the dictionary because "social construct"?

Subversive crap aiming at changing the rules for everything, all of it. The literal winning strategy handbook for social losers.
