White nationalism is idpol. You cannot fight idpol with idpol. Identity politics is only popular because in the American dominated capitalist hellscape it is the considered to be the only valid form of political expression since, according to liberalism, classes don't really exist. Also the media ignores and ostracizes anyone who doesn't play the idpol game. The bourg love idpol because even though it might harm them in the short term (though really it rarely if ever does) it also helps to re-entrench the spooky shit they have foisted onto the proles for centuries in order to keep them in line.
Identity Politics = A Distraction from the elitist 1%
Its misguided to exclusively focus on destruction of capitalism because it leaves the largely contestable social and political discourse on what exactly defines merit and equality, especially in material and social benefit in a communist society, undefined.
Hey everyone lets all create a communist movement to smash capitalism which leaves nothing for "the workers" and everything for whatever i believe is fair
It's not manufactured it's just a product of capitalist alienation not intentionally though but also some of it has nothing to do with capitalism.
There are social causes that are purely founded in white supremacy and while some causes can be tackled from a class perspective alone, others are predicated upon race itself. Those are issues where identity politics are apropriate

I have no strong opinion on this stuff because i'm a white dude so i can't really evaluate the pros and cons of idpol
The thing that would terrify the 1% of the USA the most would be if the white trash rednecks and African Americans realized that the 1% is their true enemy and they put aside the few differences they have to fight for the common good.
BLM and the alt-right are controlled opposition to prevent these groups from becoming allies like they should.
class politics is a form of identity politics.
