You’ve just found the giant gaping hole in Marxist theory. Capitalism is built on chauvinism, bigotry, and supremacy precisely because in-group solidarity is more powerful than anything built on artificial class economic interests.
Imagining that race/gender/sexuality difference will fade away once class solidarity is achieved is arguing that capitalism must be defeated before we can resist it.
Isn’t the argument more like class solidarity has to be achieved in order to effectively resist capitalism? This does entail the hard work of first opening people’s eyes to basic truths by humane means, which capitalism is designed to prevent, thus the struggle. I see no gaping hole here?
