Not really sure what to ask here, I think the left focuses more on "class consciousness" as a possible problem to their goal of "equality".

They think a minority of wealthy capitalists are against the workers, so they want to abolish
"capitalism" and property so the workers have a universal kind of equality.

Conpro seems to think these capitalists are (((capitalists))), who maybe are not engaging in "real capitalism". But it seems like successful gentile capitalists or corporations may tend to act like (((capitalists))): towards a "raceless" society in service of profits above any other value in order to "boost the GDP".

So is "class consciousness" something the right-wing is generally lacking, while "race consciousness" may be something the left-wing is lacking?

(Are there some other kind of "consciousnesses" that people debate about and discuss? Maybe in the dimension of religion or something?)

> They must pit groups of people against each other and force them to fight so that they can lord over everything.

Well I think they might argue two things:

"Capitalists" pit classes against each other. They advocate for people becoming aware of this artificial division in order to come together to form their "classless society". So it's the capitalists causing division by maintaining sharp socioeconomic classes.

Secondly I think they might argue that "race" is a "social construct" and another form of division; they'd argue we are "one race, the human race" and that, for example, ICE arresting and removing illegals from the country, is only done to intensify this kind of "artificial racial conflict" created by "capitalists".

While I don't agree with their proposed remedies to this alleged problems, I do think to some extent they are correct in identifying these as problems: the socioeconomic classes seem to be in conflict with each other unnecessarily, and while I am ok with the law being enforced with ICE, sometimes posters on the .wins seem to focus on immigration as solving more problems than something like in contrast deregulation would seem to achieve.

Consider for example the possibility of us getting rid of excessive red tape for creating businesses, of inflationary monetary policies, of useless spending of taxes in government. We might become "rich enough" to a point of not caring about the illegal problem as much, or being financially more insulated from it (while we work on it, of course).
