Yes, but the system of class oppression manifests differently for these diverse groups, which means that all individuals will have a unique perspective on these systems of class oppression. A queer person has a different experience from a black person. A black trans woman will have a unique experience that is intersectional to queer, black, and women’s struggles for liberation.
For us to dismantle class oppression, we need to understand and address how class is used to oppress minorities
I’m not saying to ignore them but to really understand them you have to start with class as it is the bedrock upon which racial and gender discrimination is built. They are not separate systems but simply sub and super sets of the same system.
Absolutely. As a privileged member of the working class, I need to listen to the people I’m trying to help and follow their lead. It’s my job to center their struggle and support them, not steal the lime light as a white savior

As I replied to the other person
In that sense, I agree. If we start on the basis of class, we’ll understand the dynamics at play that drives discrimination
We already know if we stop and listen to women and POC about these issues.
