It’s a wierd take, I’ve never seen class reductionism defined like that.
They properly understood the battles for racial and gender equality as constitutive elements of struggle for the working class
Yeah that’s right, but who is calling this class reductionism ? If anything it’s an intersectional analysis at its core, understanding the intersection between class and other conditions.
I’ve always seen class reductionism defined as an attempt to diminish the importance of those struggle, while here the author implies that Marxism fully incorporating those struggle is the thing they call class reductionism?
I think they are good faith and got gaslit by the strategy of dirty words that liberalism relied upon for decades. He must have came across a lib saying that any attempt to build solidarity of all struggles by using class analysis is “reductionism” in order to use the rightful bad connotation of the word to smear a deeply progressive and revolutionary concept.
