As for the last part, it sucks too cause she's not White, but still is leaning towards the idea that class always overrides other things like race, sexuality, gender, etc or that people overrely on identifying with those other labels. It's something that I have found hard to debate with her cause to me it seems so innate that those things do matter, but it makes it hard to word why I think that way when it's just cause it's what... makes sense to me.
They're intertwined. Assuming you're American, our race relations are part and parcel interlocked with race - white settlers slaughtered indigenous because it let the settlers become petty-bourgeois landowners, and suppressed black people because it meant they didn't have to be capitalism's biggest losers. But one must remember that the superstructure also feeds the base - if we transition into socialism without addressing these issues, they will reemerge there and we will fail because we will create a racial underclass again.
Thank you, these are all great ideas!!
