Great post!
I've thought for a while that the task of uniting as a working class involves understanding, accommodating, and making retributions for all the intersectional lines by which we are divided. It's crucial that the analysis goes beyond, "you're black, I'm white, they use that to divide us, let's get over it" but into the ways that these divisions are built on class antagonisms. Men as income earners and women as house keepers was a structurally necessary component of 20th century America's particular flavour of capitalism, just as having people with darker skin perform the grunt work at their expense has been a ongoing feature of Anglo-American domination since the beginning of European colonialism.
