@Bisoromi Bear I wanna add, that Marx was born in the liberal bourgeoisie and then then faced financial problems, this could explain for him why he managed to be such a revolutionnary thinker.
Rich people who understand leftism usually went through financial difficulties themselve or at the very least had links with social sciences at one point of their lives. THere is no reasons, under capitalism, to question meritocracy when you are wealthy, with no capitals problems and have no interest in social sciences
At best people will give to charity, but they won't question the system
The term (and I was guilty of that too) is mainly used by leftist who refuse to accept critics from their left or more radical group (for ex in fr, the twitch sphere close to PDH is often accusing racialized groups of feminist and LGBTQI+ on twitter and anarchist twitch channel to use activist purity too much when in reality, they are simply criticizing them politically). At my point, we do not consider this as a relevant concept anymore.
Liberal activism do exist as a form of badly placed and individualized activism (very close to what I was doing at the beginning here), but in materialism, we are very cautious about avoiding the term "activist purity" as usually, critics hide a real political problem. (and usually, people who are silenced or invizibilized behind)
