I'm really enjoying "Class struggle" by domenico losurdo, i've been slacking on theory recently reading a minuscule amount of pages per day but ive enjoyed this one a lot.

The global capitalist system is not based in a single oppressive relation, but in a myriad of them and very often contradictory. An american worker, member of an oppresed class, can view with indiference the subjugation of global south countries and sometimes even support it and effectively side with the oppresors. mexican workers, doubly oppresed by being members of an exploited class and exploited nation, can be the "bourgeoisie" in the family by oppresing women to domestic slavery. And this woman, triply opressed nationally, in work and in house, can also take part in the "exploitation of children by their parents". Its a myriad of contradictory relationships that a binary view of things like class reductionism can not explain. We have to surpass the binary view of social struggle.

Good reminder to think dialectically, thanks!
