#doesnt social hierarchy and its propaganda inherently seek to uphold all exploitation

[shirkers2018dirsanditan]

if you disagree that class and exploitation is the primary force in our lives and our oppression, then fine, you can argue for your framework. what has also happened is that a lot of people promote very shallow identity politics with the veneer of materialism.

like one of the worst takes i have ever seen was one that suggested that since many men who visit massage parlors in NYC are hispanic migrant workers, and since “swerfs” are supposedly mostly white and middle class, then the johns are the natural allies of the largely asian women that work in these parlors. is that not the most shallow drivel you have ever heard. class analysis is jot about who you are….it’s about your condition. using capital to commodify a fellow worker is the antithesis of solidarity. it is literally an impediment to collective action.

as long as male workers visit strip clubs and brothels and massage parlors, workers of the world will never unite. you cannot exploit wage slavery in your favor to reduce a fellow member of the masses to a tool for your own pleasure. if you want an erotic massage, approach a woman as your equal. what compels you to literally consume her as a product? how is the commodification of intimacy an act of labor solidarity? how is complicity in the objectification and commodification of women (and men) an act of labor solidarity? class is not an identity, and being a worker does not negate how you behave as a consumer. by this logic, why complain about scabs? what kind of shallow and hollow analysis is that? its literally anti-intersectionality also. ridiculous
