Marxists who appropriate social justice issues and strip them of their (inter alia) racial and gendered intersections to show how capitalism is the REAL problem remind me why I'm an intersectional feminist and not a Marxist.

Nah, I dislike that Marxists too often ignore intersectionality as they appropriate issues of identity politics and try to make them about why capitalism is the real problem.

Social Justice is impossible for poor people in a capitalism system.

And social justice will never be attained if Marxists strip social issues of their intersectionality and appropriate them so predominately white men can explain to the rest of us who aren't that the 'real problem' is capitalism.

Am I missing something here? How is Marxist class struggle not intersectional? It's it intersectional by definition?

Replying to @RationalDis @KWintie and
In practice it often is, but by definition it isn't. If you take class struggle to mean any kind of group conflict, economic or otherwise - which Marx didn't - then it can be intersectional, but in theory it only focuses on class in the traditional sense.

Ah, okay. I didn't realize that we are using the term differently. Yeah, I'm using the former meaning of class struggle.
