Class first orientation so characterize late 19th and early 20th century American socialism. Was it predetermined by the writing of say Marx, or was it more over-determined by what a white-led socialist movement would look like in the settler colony? Some German emigrays who came to the U.S. were class first; others saw slavery as fundamental movement to build class power into over-the-toplism. So they're both class first, but it's just like who's the class.
