“Identity, power and structure — all the way down.”
Sees every institution, tradition and interpersonal norm as a vector for overlapping systems of oppression — race, gender, sexuality, ability, class — and insists on reorganising them from the roots.
Intersectional radicals treat identity categories as inseparable from political analysis. The question is not 'is this fair' but 'whose power is it encoding?' — so liberal procedural fixes (equal opportunity, colour-blind rules) are viewed as camouflage for the status quo. The goal is structural: reparations, abolitionism, epistemic humility from dominant groups, and permanent institutional self-critique.
