Intersectionality is an analytical framework that conceptualizes various modes of oppression—such as race, gender, class, and sexuality—as mutually constitutive and inseparable rather than distinct or additive categories. Rooted in the activism and theoretical contributions of women of color, it rejects "single-axis" thinking and the ranking of social injustices in a hierarchy.

The document explores the historical genealogy of intersectionality, highlighting its deep-seated origins within anti-capitalist and socialist movements. By engaging with and refuting common Marxist critiques regarding identity politics, postmodernism, and the primacy of class, the text advocates for a synergistic "intersectional Marxism" designed to provide a more robust analysis of systemic power and exploitation.
