The debate about class versus "other forms of oppression" is absolute bullshit that doesn't matter much when you're out there doing praxis in the real world.
I've helped organise demonstrations, marches and other agitation work in the local populace.
You'll get to meet people with so many unique backgrounds and stories that any distinction beyond class loses its meaning.
As an activist, my experience is that when you're out there agitating, the closest thing most people will have to a common background is our class.
There are working class trans people, working class minorities and working class foreigners, working class women, working class LGBTQ+ people etc.
The one common denominator among my fellow comrades is our background as workers.
My point is, when you're out there, you'll meet so many unique people that the only certain common thread is your class.
