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.

    Okay here's an example: I used to be class reductionist. I have since been educated. No I was not a stupidpol person, I just bought too much into the "rising tide lifts all boats" mindset.

      sure, okay. but the term started out as a slur against anything left of socdem, not an internal marxist critique of people who don't understand why "class" is not an identity

      therefore we should not take seriously the idea that there is some kind of faction of "class reductionists" within the left that we need to look out for. it's just baby leftists who don't understand Marx yet.
