No reactionaries please
We don't take kindly to class reductionism around these parts :leslie-shining:
THIS SITE IS CLASS REDUNCTIONIST FREE
LOOKIN FOR IT? LEAVE.
i get called a class reductionist a lot but i dont think that counts
Maybe to some people. I don’t mean that at all.
You consider Black Lives Matter and things like anti-fascism waste of time or ‘liberal distractions’ you’re probably a class reductionist.
It’s also usually Marxists, though most Marxists definitely aren’t class reductionist. I find that most of not all class reductionists are Marxist’s and not anarchists or something
I Think this is part of the problem actually. Most of the time it’s shitting on Black Lives Matter for not making itself only about class, and then in the next breath, claiming class reductionism doesn’t exist.
I think education can work on the ones who aren't just white supremacists.
I don't know what the ratio but I expect it's not great.
Class reductionists usually argue that we would have won over the conservative white working class if only we didn’t advocate for the better treatment of this without that minority group.
It's such dumb guy logic. When there isn't a greater sense of intersectionality and you just have white supremacism with redistributive policies, your ability to organise is limited not only to white males but to the white male socialists who aren't critical of whiteness or masculinity. Those things are the enemy tied to different forms of spectacle. Strip away the spectacle and you just go back to striking miners and factory workers being replaced by minorities even within the category of white people. A major limiting factor of CPUSA was its white chauvinism and a major limiting factor of the black panthers was a lack of support from whites for the only group that really got shit done with discipline in the 1960s.
If crackerjack is so deeply reactionary that he sees BLM as a threat, what value does he have when the revolution is over and he's suddenly on equal footing with those groups? I don't want to stand next to Kyle Rittenhouse when he's armed or give him power in a society which is supposed to be the antithesis of the things he represents.
A charitable interpretation would be that they believe you can solve everything by solving class issues.
