identity politics is dumb.
Correct, identity politics is objectively rightist.
The Marxian class theory is junk.
Ultraleftism is bad. Xi Jinping called the class struggle of the late Mao period a "leftist mistake". The class structure of a society is a powerful explanatory factor in its functioning, though. India is worse off than China, despite starting in a similar place in the 1980s, because of the caste system's retardation of development. The typical "indian factory" video online consists of almost early-industrial constructions from the 1800s. Similar story for UK vs USA. Or Nazi Germany vs USSR. Less class tension means more coherence, productivity, war-fighting prowess. Which is why the US will lose to China in the next few decades, BTW, unless something incredible happens internally (it won't, though, until the bitter end)
The same social networks that enabled Capitalism to rise are the same ones that allow Communism to function.
Yep.
And when those networks fail, you get a breakdown in the system (which we have seen).
Sure. Requiring the establishment of new networks, and re-definition of the existing ones. This is the revolution and the historical-materialist development, et c.
