This chapter develops a Marxist-intersectional framework to offer a more nuanced understanding of radicalisation, arguing that class, race, and religion are not separate but co-constitutive systems of oppression. It seeks to reconcile Marxist class analysis with intersectionality, positing that capitalism has always been racial and gendered, relying on the superexploitation of specific groups to reproduce itself. The analysis explores how capitalist labor hierarchies are fundamentally shaped by racial and religious identities, creating a “racialized proletariat” concentrated in the marginalized suburbs of Europe. This framework is then used to critique liberal identity politics, which often divorces identity from material conditions and risks obscuring the underlying economic structures of inequality. The chapter provides a detailed analysis of the political economy of Islamophobia, showing how it functions to justify the exploitation of Muslim migrant labor and reinforce social control in Western nations. Utilizing W.E.B. Du Bois’s concept of “double consciousness,” it examines the profound alienation experienced by Muslim youth in Europe and how extremist ideologies offer a dangerously simplistic resolution to their identity crises.
