I figured that was most of this forum. Even the people who are clearly minority comrades say this to me basically " all forms of oppression must be fought back against, now, but class is the primary mode of oppression"

A big insight of intersectionality for me has been that looking at systems of oppression in isolation is like unweaving a blanket to understand its pattern.
The other, as it relates to class, is that class oppression is not a system whose liberation involves the coexistence of its opposing groups.
Straight people are going to need to learn to live in peace and respect with gay people.
White people are going to need to learn to live in peace and respect with people of color.
The bourgeoisie must be eradicated.
The class’s constituents must take on a different class character entirely. A class-conscious coexistence of the working and owning classes is the material base for fascism. This cannot stand. So while class is inextricably tied to the oppression of these social groups, class stands out as a system of oppression whose eradication will remove the very distinctions it preys on.
