Their society has no racism, sexism,
classism, ableism, ageism, anti-Semitism, nor heterosexism. I had studied
feminist and Marxist theories as an undergraduate and planned to

heterosexism, classism, sexism, ableism, ageism, nationalism,
regionalism, and environmental destruction. In addition, Pope advocated for the

heterosexism, ableism, and a socioeconomically constricted focus on the
