The Intersectional Working Class Shall Be The Human Race (rough draft)

5. Yeah, that's a left-reformist position........

NOT a socialist position. At least not a revolutionary socialist position. It's akin to social democracy. If your opposition to capitalism is based on the fact that you will NEVER get fairness OF ANY SORT short of a social revolution, then "...changes short of their ideological leanings" would be a non-starter. Here's the deal, if you're FORCED to "compromise" for less because of the makeup of the social forces involved, well, that's objective reality, but if you go into the struggle thinking you're going to compromise, that's not a principled stand.

As to the social issues, that's a place where Marxists and populists, even left populists like Sanders, differ. Marxists have ALWAYS recognized special oppression and super-exploitation as key factors in the class struggle.
