So focusing on improving the lot of the working class helps all marginalized people specifically
Right, that's true. Imo that's a key point to emphasize as an intersectional Left movement to separate ourselves from lib slackctivism. But fake? Definitely not. There are prominent figures on the left both online and offline who take that idea to its furthest extent, and end up denying support to less class-oriented but still benevolent movements. One example I can think of is when twitter marxists blanket-denounce Landback as "idpol". Not to mention the "leftists" who use extreme class reductionism as a cover for legit racism.
You are speaking from my heart exactly. I have no problem with working class policies and actually prefer them, but I see no problem in lending my support to anti-racist or anti-fascist orgs. These are all my comrades. You and I seem to think on the same wavelength.
