Intersectional or Nothing!
Revolution Isn't Reducible
There is no conflict in fighting white supremacy, patriarchy, heterosexism, and ecocide intersectionally as part of the fight against capitalism. Class reductionism is a failure to truly think as revolutionaries.
How can we communists unite the working-class against capitalism and its ideological hold over potentially revolutionary agents, if we can’t unite the proletariat to fight against the ideological effects of white supremacy, patriarchy, heterosexism, and ecocide within the working-class?
Are there not non-white, women, and lgbtq+ workers? Do we not need to combat all the conditions that interfere with the revolutionary empowerment of all the working-class?
Such workers are the greatest potential leaders of the international communist revolution, precisely because they experience the oppression of the ruling class along more diverse axes than the traditional unionized white male partisans of the labor movement.
The revolution must be intersectional or it will fail to emancipate all persons within the working-class and oppressed.
If, as some Marxists claim, struggles against white supremacy, patriarchy, heterosexism, and ecocide are merely struggles *within capitalism* that divert potential revolutionaries from the central struggle *against capitalism,* one must wonder why we would trust unionized white male revolutionaries to successfully defeat the capitalist class, if they have never had any significant victories against what some Marxists deem to be less difficult struggles?
Only if we understand the struggle against capitalism to be bound up with the struggle to defeat white supremacy, patriarchy, heterosexism, and ecocide can we unite a world in which most of the working-class is not unionized white male workers.
