No, what we really need is top-to-bottom labor and community organizing to build institutions like unions and cooperatives, even less-than-formal ones, that can wield power on behalf of the working class without getting it rubber-stamped by a local government official first.

Step one is get rid of identity politics or else it becomes this.

Democrat's response: "but they are all racists"

I can agree, at least regarding immaterial identity politics. "He said, she said on Twitter" needs to be thrown violently from our politics. "She couldn't get housing because the landlords are redlining black people" is a real, material problem that must be addressed, as is the displacement of whole communities by urban governments who refuse to build new housing for transplants to live in.
