No it would not. Yes capitalism must go so do the colonial structures where it originated from. And yes current forms of discrimination interact with capitalism and our current systems and societies. How ever systems of oppression are far older than capitalism and it is at least my goal as of many other leftist mostly anarchists to have a society where hirarchies of opression don't exist.
It is my observation which is not representative obviously, that people who advocate to soley focus on class, who usually ignore the struggles of opressed groups in our society, often hold bigoted views about at least some minorities.
As in your case against people with mental illnesses autism etc.
Back to the previous point.
To just focus on class completly ignores the struggles and the contributions of movemtents that fougth and still figth for the liberation of oppressed groups. like black liberation and queer liberation. just as an example. These things are not distractions. Not only has there been social progress which bettered the lives of people, although that progress has always been a compromise.
In fact your are not going to get a true liberation from capitalism without overcoming colonialism which has also intersections with hetero-cis-allo-endo normative patriarchy, and those are also linket to capitalism. I could list more structures of opression.
Dismanteling capitalism wont solve all problems. It is however an important step towards a liberated world if the systems that follow it are better.
Ok your just a rigth wing troll at this point
I have a strong suspicion that the CIA has been stoking you to divide the left. The fact that you consider fighting racism and transphobia "wasting time" shows that you are incapable of building the solidarity that would be required for a socialist revolution to succeed.
You can't effectively address those who are transphobic and racist by fighting them, shaming them, and being hateful towards them. Bigotry and hate are fueled by a lack of understanding, acceptance, sometimes by a sense of superiority, fear, tribalism, religion, propaganda, incoherence and disconnection, confusion, and of course also by hate.
Adding to a cycle doesn't break it, we need to move past these cycles of hate and hurt by joining hands with those who are on the side of all of humanity.
The people living in hate and fear who have dug their feet deep into the ground, blocking progress or even regressing it, standing with their closed hearts will catch up eventually.
I'm sure this position had nothing to do with your rampant abelism...
Narcissists are subhuman filth, and I'm not sorry for saying what we're all thinking.
