I see the term a lot, but I don't fully understand its context. Impossible to google due to libs coopting the language in unintelligible articles.

Thank you for the help.

      This is all true and you can't just paper over intersecting identity issues with class consciousness. But also true that "class reductionist" is sometimes used as a low-key accusation of racism/bigotry by those who are not particularly interested in a Marxist theory of class relations or class consciousness at all and you should be wary of the term

      completely ignoring the fact that the working class is queer, black, indigenous, not just the domain of cis white dudes.

      It doesn't ignore that. The idea is that their issues will also be solved if the material circumstances change and thus it is pointless to do anything about these kinds of issues. Which is basically wrong especially from a tactical perspective but it's not really because they ignore the fact that the working class is also black, queer etc.

      It's generally used though as an insult in a really dumb sense though. Often by libs who just throw it around when they want to discard class analysis.
