Asking because I think it's clever in a few ways:

Safely evades the idpol question by implicitly removing it from the question. Would-be wreckers have to take on a position that is, from my perspective, more obviously/visibly beneficial to the 'top' in this question.

Succinct and to the point

Excellent potential for gay jokes

Accessible idea (I've heard it across left-liberal spaces and just out in the wild)

At the same time I a specific fear that there's somehwere out there an obscure Lenin quote debunking against this line of thinking. That would ruin me.

Curious on the stupidpol monolith's take

Working off the title, it is all up and down not left to right. People on both sides, but obviously more so on the right, are Allied or duped by the top, while those of us who are not dumb as shit realize it is about class.

I only support countries that allow same sex marriage.
