    Marxism is when you're class reductionist and the more class reductionist you are the more Marxist it is.

        I think they associate them with blue-haired liberal feminists. Obviously class traitors.

        I figured it out

        • masons, 1st world farmers, fishers, etc tend to be whiteboy networks so they're all good
        • coffee farms, tea farms, and other tropical products are managed by the good POC who stay in their countries
        • retail workers, fast food workers, etc are staffed by POC in white-majority countries so they're bad

        Class Exclusionism or something if you wanna draw up a new term for it, guys that make up arbitrary and abstract barriers between the "real proletariat" and "bourgeoise service workers" based on shit like how "hard" or "difficult" the work is, or if its "productive or unproductive" at a surface level.

        I saw one of these guys say that being a delivery/transport driver is suddenly actual proletarian work but being a barista still isnt, suddenly its about fucking distance you transport the commodity I guess.

      is it class reductionism to arbitrarily invent a new class of less-exploited-but-still-wage-laborer to pretend they're not being exploited

        Starbucks workers have to deal with a clamoring mob of sugar addicted large children, which I'd imagine is the main source of stress and inability to get a lunch break. I don't think I've ever seen a standalone store that didn't have a line of SUVs around the building at peak.

        But this will totally be used against restaurant workers who have to put away bulk stock, wash like 3 weeks worth of household dishes in a single night (may god help you if there's cheese or sour cream in the sink water), scrape/brick grills, prep hundreds of pounds of ingredients, run and clean a deep fryer, follow FDA protocol, mop up vomit, get woozy/dehydrated because you can't get a lunch break, and still have to deal with a mob of sugar-addicted large children.

        Same dudes that will say you’re dividing the working class if you dare to ask them to Introduce some intersectional analysis for poc comrades into their thinking bc it might make their mayo ass feel bad and then turn around and be like “lol service workers aren’t actually proles bc they don’t look like propaganda posters from 1940”
