20 years ago, I was fairly sympathetic to that line of argument. I’ve since come to believe that arguments that arrive at “racism is just class war, so solve wealth disparity first” are an intellectual trap laid for us by white supremacy. You have to tackle •both• problems mindfully and head on, or you’ll solve •neither•.
I do agree that wealth disparity, wealth concentration, and oligarchy are deeply entangled with this problem, and deconsolidating media is a helpful and probably necessary condition for the original goal.
