For operaismo, the question of class composition was a militant one: how to construct a partisan point of view adequate to the actually existing organisation of labour and struggle. In the present, such militant formation has to confront infrastructural fascism at the level of everyday life without reinstalling the violences of class reductionism. Class reductionism itself a form of violence: it universalises a particular figure of “the worker” and erases the specific racialised, gendered, colonised histories through which exploitation and exposure are distributed. Intersectionality enters here not as a liberal catalogue of identities but as a technique for mapping how bodies are differentially exposed to shared infrastructural regime.

In this sense, intersectionality both interrupts and forces the revision of the twentieth-century imaginary of working-class solidarity in which “the class” appears as a single, coherent subject. It displaces “class” as the unquestioned name for antagonism yet simultaneously reveals how class has always already been articulated through race, gender, and sexuality. Rather than the end of class politics, it can be read as a negative index of its crisis: a demand to recompose collective resistance on the basis of those differential exposures. Intersectionality thus becomes a necessary dimension of contemporary class composition, so that what was once figured as the unitary worker gives way to a more complex, intersectional constellation of oppressed bodies capable of acting together in and against the social factory—that is, capable of enacting the forms of civil negativity developed here.
