I have never heard of Doug and Ben and don’t know what they’re all on about. Class reductionists are a thing but idk if that’s what they are without reading their words.
Forget about class reductionism, how about any class analysis whatsoever? OP’s “analysis” is pure race reductionism and moralism without a single ounce of Marxist thought instilled.
Apparently using any class analysis whatsoever or referencing factual historical origins of things is “class reductionism” now?
Im not beholden to marx like you are, i just want better outcomes for everyone and saying racism would “disappear with capitalism” is dangerously ignorant of history.
i have no problem saying im just a non sectarian leftist who wants the best for everyone.
I don’t want to hear anything about “class reductionist” from non-Marxists who reject Marx and reject class based analysis entirely. Go off and live in your idealist fantasy world of eternal platonic evils and leave material analysis of history to us who care to connect our ideas with reality and alter the world. Stop stealing our words and aping our ideas poorly. Stay in your own lane or learn.
There was racism against celts and people perceived to be “others” long before the advent of capitalism dude, by all means keep screaming at me obnoxiously about how im a liberal who hasnt read marx (idgaf lol)
im not saying class doesnt play any factor at all, contrary to your weird straw-mans.
Ive seen plenty of people even prominent marxists say this, doug and ben from Zero books for example, repeat this line.

I’m disagreeing with their “race reductionism” too if you read my earlier comments.

There was ethnic prejudice and strife. Can’t be racist if the concept of race has yet to be conceived
