      A lot of people arguing that if class were "merely another identity" then that means "if we just thought about it differently it would go away" As though there's any form of "identity-based" oppression for which that actually is truehttps://twitter.com/nberlat/status/1335848556096270338 …

      In fact, in his mentions, people are insisting that class is not an identity, distinguishing it from other forms of oppression. It's the same thing, "this is real, that is less so."

      I would argue that, as an example, racial discrimination against Italians in the US is an identity based oppression that went away because it was thought about differently.

      I mean yes, in the crudest sense, since all oppression is carried out by humans who base their actions on their thoughts, all oppression could be ended by "thinking about things differently" The abolition of private property and class would just be people "thinking differently"

      I would argue that the relationship between classes (specifically here capitalists and workers) is more mechanical in nature. Any owner who profits without working is automatically extracting wealth from a worker. It’s a parasitic relationship.

      Okay but that's the whole thing, it's all socially constructed, including all the "mechanical" shit that underlies class, like the concept of property As we all know, money is just pieces of paper and bits in a computer, and so are titles and leases and laws

          And *all* "socially constructed" marginalized identities reproduce themselves just as mechanically They only exist in the heads of the people who enforce them - there's no laws of physics that enforce any of them - but they're real nonetheless

          This is the big huge sticking point for so many people They think of racism as personal animus - it's a matter of white people getting pissed off, hateful, deciding they want to go fuck up some nonwhite people today It's not, it's just as structural as class

          You still haven’t addressed the parasitic nature of class that doesn’t exist for any of these “identity-based” oppressions. There’s no race that requires another race to exist.

          The "white" race absolutely requires non-white races to exist that it can position itself as superior to. This is an inherent part of what "white" as a race is and why different groups have tried so hard to get integrated into the "white" race.
