This stuff is not the product of advocacy for capitalism or the free-market. It's literally watered-down Maoism, of the kind that would've been common in Europe and elsewhere starting in the 1970s - complete with its promise of a Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and its resolute getting rid of everything that's old, traditional and therefore privileged, bourgeois or otherwise "counter-revolutionary". The whole ideological stance of so-called social justice is really, really old-hat to those who are familiar with this stuff, but North American populist leftists remained a naïve, susceptible population for rather obvious reasons - ideological conflict was not nearly as salient there in the past decades as it would've been elsewhere in the West.
