Seriously, imagine being a class reductionist. I could never be one. Just the pervasiveness of racism, bigotry, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, et al that I have personally experiened tells me that there are other dynamics that intersect with class that are very, very relevant. But sure, tell me all about how the white guy who quotes black crime stats and seeks out suburbs that are virtually all white to live in would totally be a good comrade if you could just have 15 minutes to explain class consciousness to him. Or the evangelical nut who somehow in 2021 considers transgenderism a sin and a mental illness akshully only sees is that way because of class. Go ahead.
Seriously if you see any class reductionism here just tag me, I love banning class reductionists. It's fun for me.
I think I can understand the thought process. They believe that elevating the material conditions is first and foremost, and that as we do that bigotry will naturally be reduced. Obviously I don’t agree, but I understand it. Their argument is that they’d rather have a society where everyone has the material conditions to survive but racism still exists, rather than people dying in the street and starving but there is no racism.
baby brain thought process, like obviously you can tackle 2 things at once
Yep, it's people usually in a position of privilege w/r/t to race, gender, etc having a really high tolerance for it, because ultimately it's something they benefit from or at least not something that impacts them.

Not at all, it becomes class reductionism if you think it will fix most/all situations for racism, bigotry etc, or if you think direct approaches to combating racism etc "don't matter" in the short term
