Class reductionism is the epithet cast by cafe liberals on actual revolutionaries who understand that class struggle must be the foremost revolutionary struggle. Typically used by Twitterati and (insert identity politics faction here) Studies majors.
Pat reconsidered their accusations of class reductionism when the armed cis males freed them from their life of drudgery in some cubicle farm serving capital.

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"

a term often used when having a thumb war. when your thumb is unnaturally larger than most peoples thumbs. Its what you choose to get when you are self concience about the freakishly large phalangie on your hand so you decide to "size it down". can also be used as a term to put down someone elses large hands.

No I'm not using the racial slurs to get what I want or the threats or the insults. Those are what you're using as an excuse not to give it to me and only because 'FuCk KiDs WiLl SeE tHaT aNd ImItaTe HyM'
Hym "No, THAT is being reductive. That right there. YOU CAN'T BE ALLOWED TO DO THIS TO PEOPLE. I DON'T CARE WHAT I SAID. I DON'T WHAT I DID. AND NEITHER DO YOU. I DON'T CARE WHO DIED. IF I FAIL, THEY DIED FOR NOTHING. Unlike rape AND child killing, no one would ever do this willing. But people kill their own kids, don't they? People play rape. They even rape their own kids. But nobody would ever willing cede control of their own life and live as a second class citizen."
