It isn't a question of privileging one among a set of injustices; it's a question of what Marxism was about. If one is talking about class struggle it implies that everyone has got a stake in the outcome of that struggle and there are going to be winners and losers in it, which is why it only comes at the cost of bloody revolution. Try converting your discourse about "racism" or "feminism" into terms of "race struggle" or "gender struggle" and I think you'll see why I have difficulty in seeing a term like "classism" as owing anything whasoever to Marxist theory .
