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.
"Bernie Sanders disappointment with Hillary Clinton's failure to secure the support of white working-class voters in the 2016 presidential election was a grotesque display of class reductionism, cultural insensitivity, racism, sexism and homophobia"
