Marxism is endlessly divisive, constantly pitting one class against another. As long as you have more than 1 person you can find some criteria to divide the group into 2 categories. Then you rank one as being more privileged than the other and the struggle continues, with the un-privileged always being assumed superior and therefore the victor.

Backs. vs. Whites, black win. Gay blacks vs. straight blacks, gay blacks win. Trans gay blacks vs. non-trans gay blacks, trans gay blacks win. Etc. etc. etc.

This is both the genius of Marx's ideas and the downfall of Western civilization. The irony being, of course, is that the left is so sure that they are doing the right thing by setting privileged against un-privileged. But in truth all they are doing is sitting on a branch while exhorting useful idiots armed with saws to cut the branch off at the trunk.

As someone much smarter than I'll ever be said the socialist experiment has been run, several times in fact, and all it resulted in was mass starvation and death. (paraphrased)
