You hit the nail on the head. It is so frustrating that every single social movement has to be exclusively focused around some innate quality that cannot be changed. Sex, race, sexuality, everything except class. We spend all this time arguing amongst ourselves instead of collectively asking the ultra-rich why socialized healthcare is too expensive but spending 20 years destroying a country for no reason isn't.
I just don't get how an american leftist can see every single fortune 500 company paying lip service to every single american leftist cause and not wonder if maybe something else is going on. And sure, I'm well aware that it's all meaningless PR maneuvers to curry favor among the public. But I firmly believe that these companies avoid any sort of class-based issue like the plague because that might lead to questions about why corporations can make so much money and pay so little in tax while the rest of us make peanuts and are forced to give the government 1/3 of it.
