You shouldn’t assume that every argument made against a particular solution to social injustice is an argument advocating for social injustice.

While there are some people who are just plain racist or bigoted or have certain religious views; and therefore believe that racial/gender/etc injustice is inevitable, many others are just arguing against a particular solution.

For example, not everyone agues against dialectical materialism because they want people to be poor. They just don’t think communism can work.
