Ive seen plenty of people even prominent marxists say this, doug and ben from Zero books for example, repeat this line.

I have never heard of Doug and Ben and don’t know what they’re all on about. Class reductionists are a thing but idk if that’s what they are without reading their words.

Forget about class reductionism, how about any class analysis whatsoever? OP’s “analysis” is pure race reductionism and moralism without a single ounce of Marxist thought instilled.

Apparently using any class analysis whatsoever or referencing factual historical origins of things is “class reductionism” now?

Im not beholden to marx like you are, i just want better outcomes for everyone and saying racism would “disappear with capitalism” is dangerously ignorant of history.

i have no problem saying im just a non sectarian leftist who wants the best for everyone.

I’m disagreeing with their “race reductionism” too if you read my earlier comments.

There was racism against celts and people perceived to be “others” long before the advent of capitalism dude, by all means keep screaming at me obnoxiously about how im a liberal who hasnt read marx (idgaf lol)

im not saying class doesnt play any factor at all, contrary to your weird straw-mans.
