I think... my political question boils down to either: a) human beings are fundamentally inclined towards domination, ergo our task is to further and deepen the work of liberalism such that not only can one human not dominate another, but one group cannot dominate another...
or b) social relations take the dominant role in determining human behavior; as such it is possible that various other ills, including patriarchy and white supremacy all stem from the contradiction between capital and labor.

and those aren't totally mutually exclusive: if we resist hegemony, we also resist the hegemony of the rich over the poor, right? And if we centralize class, that doesn't mean anti-racism and anti-sexism are not immediately and long-term part of socialist organizing.
