Ended up on a rather unpleasant sub on accident, dunno where to post it lol. Not really fit to discuss these issues, but somehow I hear similar takes from leftists in my country from time to time, bruh.

They also think that class reductionism is basically a good thing because they believe class is all that matters to marxists. But of course class reductionism is better described as reducing class down to vulgarity that cant describe or explain the world than it is hyoerfocusing on class.
My understanding is that class reductionism entails reducing the definition of the term “class” to the classes that only describe the relationship to the means of production, ignoring classes in other areas (e.g. colonizer vs. colonized)
Exactly. It also ignores the stratifications of labor that develop under imperialism, rendering its fixation on the relationship to productivity unhelpful. But this is mostly done for exactly what you said, to ignore colonialism, racism etc.
Ive seen a handful ultras wear the term class reductionist with pride. Its really a shame how close ultras are to being useful only for them to more or less turn out to be wreckers.
You say “exactly” but I read two different definitions for what “class reductionism” is up above lol. I think your definition is much more in line with what online and “real-world” discussions tend to take up whereas @GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml’s definition is much more in line with academic definitions
