Instead of atomizing citizens via immutable physical traits, try looking at the only thing that matters, the relationship of the person to Capital.

It all matters.

Acknowledging how society divide and conquer, seperate and atomize citizens into segregated social groups, often linked to immutable traits, is essential to combat capitalism and tear down class dividers.

There's a reason bell hooks coined "imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy". These are interconnected oppressive systems. They strengthen and sustain each other, and one cannot be defeated without the others. Additionally; If you do not stand in solidarity with those who face a multitude of oppressive structures, they have less resources to fight the oppressive capitalist structures

Ignoring everything but capitalism is similar to white feminism ignoring everything but gendered oppression.

All women are not free until everyone is free.

All workers are not free until everyone is free

All black, indigenous, people of color and racialized minorities are not free until everyone is free

All LGBTQ+ people are not free until everyone is free

There is no workers' liberation without women's liberation without black people's liberation without queer people's liberation without disabled people liberation without...

You cannot mobilize the working class without addressing the very real, oppressive structures that have very real, negative impact on people's lives.

Race isn't real, and the idea that people are physically separated into racial groups is not real. That's a human made, social construct.

But racism is real. Humans separating humans into different social groups based on the socially constructed idea of "race" is real. And the effects of racism is real. Different rights and treatment being allocated humans based on these social groups are real. And therefore, the shared struggles against structural oppression within these groups are very real - despite the basis of these social groups' creation being a social construct

Not acknowledging the multitude of struggles and oppressive systems present in imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy makes it impossible to stand in true solidarity with fellow workers, across social groups. It'll inevitably lead to reinforcing the unrecognized oppressive structures, and stand in the way of a united working class.
