reductive fallacy

One of the basic logical fallacies is the reductive fallacy, or in Latin, 'reductum ad absurdum'. Basically means taking a normal argument to such a far extreme (reducing it in an absurd manner) as an attempt to try to say it is wrong.

Note this is a logical fallacy. Just because one can think of some far out case.

class reductionism

The idea that class-based oppression should be the foremost concern among revolutionaries, with things like gender, race, sexual orientation, etc, taking a back seat until 'after the revolution.' For the most part the term is used as a pejorative by liberals against socialists and materialists, rather than being advocated by anyone.
