While we are more related by class, POC and other minority groups tend to suffer intersectional discrimination so they are worse off than a cis, straight white person in the same class as them. Identity politics does have its place, but lib use it to tokenize the minorities.
ID-POL is the main thing wrong with the left today and why they don’t ever accomplish anything here in the US. It’s the short answer why there absolutely isn’t going to be a revolution in the US.
There is a reason why liberals use and it’s pushed so hard. It takes away the class analysis and instead, pits everyone divided into all these groups by race, culture, gender and so on. You end up with a bunch of divided groups all fighting themselves as they accuse one another of valuing individual concerns over the other. This becomes an ‘Oppression Olympics’
The class analysis is the only way to really unite people all under the same banner. A good example was the protests in June. You had people all united of race, culture and class. The media started working in overdrive pushing ID-POL narratives about “white agitators” and “white anarchists” to divide them up and sure enough, it worked. You started seeing protesters handing off quote on quote “agitators” to the cops, and speeches about “cancelling” and mostly lecturing the white people that were showing up in unity.
The class war is real and everything comes back to it in the end. As material conditions continue to worsen, all we’re going to have left is naked class conflict in the future.
