What oppressed minority is excluded when we focus on class war, specifically?
It’s not so much that some people are excluded, but rather that class war won’t solve a lot of problems specific to (intersections of) minority groups. That’s a point that’s pretty easy to miss if you’re not part of a discriminated minority, even if you’re aware of the need for class war.
Could you provide some examples though?
Sexist attitudes won’t disappear just by abolishing the capital class, to name an example. It will definitely help though, because the capital class benefits from our current internal divisions and actively encourages it.
…you’re talking as if you’re countering what I’m saying, but you’re seemingly talking completely past me.
I don’t claim the only war is class war, nor do I think that people should stop fighting discrimination until the capital class is abolished.
