Right, exactly. And its not even people who are denying that things like racism, sexism, etc are important because, again, I think most of them do. But if you believe the infrastructure is composed only of economic relations than it becomes much easier to believe a class is composed of members who share some interests and don't share others, whereas I see class as composed of members who share some interests and have other interests that are opposed to each other
For me at least, I'm also uncomfortable in my political circles with people that seem heavy on the economics and light on the social justice because, in most of these circles, the group is typically economically-underprivileged white people, usually men. So it's not that I don't believe them when they say they support social justice, it's just that they (and myself as a poor white guy) are only going to benefit from economic leftism. There's literally no downside for me to vote on that basis. But the social justice stuff means, in real terms, that we'll be fighting to give up privileges that we have enjoyed for our entire lives, sometimes even privileges we didn't realize we had. So it's much more likely to me that someone in an intersectional group will continue to fight for economic justice, even after they might obtain social justice, than it is for someone in an economics-focused group to continue to fight for social justice after they might obtain economic justice.
Note that I just said more likely, not that it is likely. But still, it's always a thought I have at these events.
